Pablo Picasso working on two plasters of "Centaure". La Californie, Cannes 1956.

In the studio of his Villa La Californie in Cannes, 1956, Pablo Picasso is seen in profile, working on two plaster sculptures of his "Centaure." A strong light streams from a window, illuminating his face and the stylized white figures on the desk before him. This stark contrast casts the rest of the room, which is filled with other paintings and artworks, into deep shadow, creating an atmosphere of quiet, focused creativity.
