Pablo Picasso, Suzanne Ramié, Jaime Sabartés. La Californie, Cannes 1956.

In his art-filled studio at the villa La Californie in Cannes, 1956, Pablo Picasso is captured in an animated conversation with Suzanne Ramié. Both gesture expressively; Picasso points downwards while Ramié points with her left hand, holding a small object in her right. To Picasso's left, his secretary Jaime Sabartés, wearing a double-breasted suit, stands with arms crossed, looking down with a contemplative expression toward a large canvas on an easel. The busy creative space is filled with paintings, masks, and sculptures.
