La Californie, Cannes 1956.

A large, unframed painting by Pablo Picasso rests on the wooden herringbone floor of his studio at the Villa La Californie in Cannes, 1956. The semi-abstract, cubist portrait depicts a seated woman, her form defined by bold black lines and a palette of black, white, brown, and teal-green. In the lower-left corner, Picasso’s signature and the date, "19.4.56.", are visible. The work is propped against several other blank canvases near a glass-paned door.
