Pablo Picasso and Claude Picasso at Christmas with Claude Picasso's Christmas present, a toy Citroën DS. La Californie, Cannes 1956.

At their villa, La Californie, in Cannes, Pablo Picasso presents a Christmas gift to his son, Claude, in 1956. Seen in profile in a checkered shirt, the artist holds out a toy Citroën DS. The young boy, his expression one of concentration, looks down intently at the model car. Behind them, a shelf is adorned with various sculptures and art objects.
