Two plasters of "Centaure". La Californie, Cannes 1956.

Two plaster models of "Centaure" rest on a round wooden table in the sunlit studio of Villa La Californie in Cannes, 1956. Sunlight streams from the left, brightly illuminating the stylized figures and casting strong shadows. The background reveals an eclectic collection of art and objects on a sideboard, including a large primitivist-style head and African sculpture, with a cubist painting hanging on the wall above.
