Pablo Picasso is seated in his studio at the villa La Californie in Cannes, flanked by his children, Christmas 1955. To his right, Claude strikes a confident pose in a swashbuckler ("cap et épée") costume, complete with a wide-brimmed hat, cape, and sword. To the left, Paloma holds a doll, her expression serious as she looks away from the camera. The family scene unfolds amidst the artist's work, surrounded by large canvases and paintings in various states of completion.
