To enhance the effect of a new velvet blouse given to him for his 75th birthday, Pablo Picasso playfully mimes the expression of an ancient emperor. As he bows his head, Jacqueline places one of her own beaded necklaces over it. A lit cigarette dangles from his mouth as he leans in to kiss the beads she holds. This intimate moment was captured at their villa, La Californie, in Cannes on 25 October 1956.
