At his villa La Californie in Cannes, 1956, Pablo Picasso is seated with French painter and writer André Verdet, examining a plaster maquette of his sculpture "Centaure". Picasso gestures towards the work, which sits on the cluttered table between them, as Verdet leans forward to listen. In the background, Jean Ramié, wearing a white smock, observes the conversation amidst the studio’s collection of paintings and supplies.
