On the occasion of his 75th birthday, Pablo Picasso mimes the intense expression of an ancient emperor. To enhance the effect, he wears a new velvet blouse—a gift for the occasion—and borrows a chunky necklace from Jacqueline. With a furrowed brow and dark, piercing eyes, he gazes to the side, a cigarette held in his right hand. Photographed at his villa La Californie in Cannes, 25 October 1956.
