Pablo Picasso with Claude Picasso in "swashbuckler" ("cap et épée") dress. Paloma Picasso with doll. La Californie, Cannes, Christmas 1955.

In his studio at La Californie, Cannes, Pablo Picasso shares a playful moment with his children at Christmas, 1955. Kneeling on the floor, the artist smiles as he presents a fencing sword to his son, Claude, who is dressed in a "cap et épée" swashbuckler costume. To the side, his daughter, Paloma, holds her doll. The intimate family scene unfolds amidst a backdrop of Picasso's monumental, unframed canvases that fill the room.
