Pablo Picasso's boxer dog Jan. Floor tiles (Tomettes) by Pablo Picasso and a mosaic after his design. La Californie, Cannes 1956.

In the creative disarray of Pablo Picasso’s studio at Villa La Californie in Cannes, 1956, his boxer dog, Jan, rests on the floor. Sunlight illuminates the space, casting shadows across scattered ceramic floor tiles, or *tomettes*, decorated by the artist with faces and abstract designs. The room is filled with works in various stages of completion: an easel holds a stylized portrait, large canvases lean against the walls, and a wooden sculpture of a flutist sits among the clutter, offering an intimate view of Picasso’s working environment.
