Clown scene: Pablo Picasso in drag. La Californie, Cannes 1958.

In a moment of playful clowning at his Villa La Californie studio, Pablo Picasso raises his arms to fit a soft object onto his head. To his left, a companion erupts in laughter at the scene. The room is filled with artworks, including expressive, mask-like ceramic sculptures hanging on the wall behind them. Cannes, 1958.
