Pablo Picasso and Jacqueline viewing a book about Bernard Palissy, French potter of the 16th century. La Californie, Cannes 1957.

Pablo Picasso and Jacqueline share an intimate, creative moment at their villa La Californie in Cannes, 1957. The artist, bald and wearing glasses, leans intently over a large book about the 16th-century French potter Bernard Palissy. To his left, Jacqueline rests her chin on her hand, smiling warmly as she gazes at him. The table is covered with papers and sketches, and the room is filled with artworks, including a painted ceramic owl plate and large, decorated kite forms.
