Pablo Picasso and French painter and writer André Verdet, examinig two plasters of "Centaure". La Californie, Cannes 1956.

In the sunlit studio of his Villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso leans intently over a wooden table, examining two plaster maquettes for his "Centaure" sculptures. Seated behind him, the French painter and writer André Verdet observes in a contemplative pose, his chin resting on his hand. The 1956 scene is one of quiet collaboration, illuminated by bright, natural light from arched windows that silhouette the palm trees outside.
