Jacqueline taking photos of "Centaure" sculptures. La Californie, Cannes 1956.

At the villa La Californie in Cannes, Jacqueline photographs the plaster “Centaure” sculptures in 1956. Holding a vintage camera to her eye, she focuses on the two figures resting on a round wooden table. The art-filled room is a dense studio space, its marble-topped mantelpiece crowded with a sculptural bust, a tribal figure, and a vintage radio. Sunlight streams in from a large window overlooking a wrought-iron balcony, while in the immediate foreground, a pair of hands holds open a newspaper.
