Pablo Picasso with a book about Bernard Palissy, French potter of the 16th century. La Californie, Cannes 1957.

At his Villa La Californie in Cannes, 1957, Pablo Picasso leans intently over a large, open book. Seen from over his shoulder, the artist studies a detailed image of an ornate plate, a work by the 16th-century French potter Bernard Palissy. The room, filled with eclectic objects including a tall abstract sculpture and a ceramic pitcher, is illuminated by natural light from a louvered window, offering a glimpse into Picasso's creative environment.
