La Californie, Cannes 1956.

A page from a spiral-bound sketchbook, photographed at Villa La Californie in Cannes in 1956. Dated "8.11.55. IV" in the upper corner, the abstract charcoal or pencil drawing depicts a modernist interior. A stylized, seated figure occupies the lower right, while the center features a window or doorway opening onto dense foliage. Geometric forms suggesting furniture, including a three-legged table and an easel, populate the dynamic composition of fragmented lines and shapes. The sketchbook lies open against a vertically textured gray background.
