Pablo Picasso at La Californie, Cannes 1956.

In his studio at the Villa La Californie in Cannes, 1956, Pablo Picasso stands with arms crossed and a direct, serious gaze. Dressed in a short-sleeved shirt and plaid trousers, he is surrounded by a profusion of his work. The high-ceilinged room showcases a contrast in styles: behind him are canvases in a primitivist, child-like manner, while to the right, a monumental seated nude in his signature Cubist style leans against the wall. A bentwood rocking chair holds another small painting, as strong light illuminates the scene and casts long shadows across the wooden floor.
