La Californie, Cannes, November 1955.

A vibrant painting by Pablo Picasso rests on an easel in his studio at La Californie in Cannes, November 1955. The Cubist portrait depicts a seated woman, her face a complex arrangement of features viewed from multiple perspectives. She wears a small blue hat and a decorated blue jacket open at the chest, set against a background split between terracotta orange and a red grid. The surrounding studio, with another canvas visible, is softly out of focus.
