At their villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso and Jacqueline intently study a book about the 16th-century French potter Bernard Palissy. Jacqueline rests her chin thoughtfully on her hand, her gaze on an open page. Picasso, wearing dark-rimmed glasses, leans forward to examine an intricate illustration. The background, filled with artworks including a prominent kite-shaped piece dated "1956", reveals the creative atmosphere of the artist's studio. Cannes, 1957.
