Pablo Picasso and Jacqueline viewing Palissy book. La Californie, Cannes 1957.

In their villa La Californie in Cannes, 1957, Pablo Picasso and his partner Jacqueline Roque examine cutouts from a book on the work of Bernard Palissy. Picasso, in a vibrant red shirt, leans over a large sheet of paper, his attention fixed on a monochrome cutout of a reclining nude. Beside him, Jacqueline rests her chin on her hand, her expression contemplative. The room, filled with art including a large, colorful textile and various framed works, has the warm, intimate quality of a studio and living space combined.
