Pablo Picasso and two plasters of "Centaure". La Californie, Cannes 1956.

In his studio at the villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso is captured in a moment of focused concentration, 1956. Seated in a wicker chair, he looks intently towards something just out of frame. Before him, on a large wooden table, are several small sculptures, including two white plasters of his "Centaure". The sunlit room serves as an active, creative workspace, its walls covered with paintings and sketches in various stages of completion.
