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

At his Villa La Californie, Pablo Picasso examines a book on the 16th-century French potter Bernard Palissy, joined by Jacqueline and Pierre-André Weill. Weill, in a herringbone tweed jacket, leans over to point at an illustration, while Jacqueline rests her chin in her hand, looking on thoughtfully. The intimate scene is set against a wall displaying Picasso's own art, including a ceramic owl plate and a kite dated “1956.” Cannes, 1957.
