Pablo Picasso sitting at a school bench. Dressed in the checkered trousers that amuse him because of their association with the self-portraits of Courbet, Pablo Picasso toys with a small cardboard sculpture. La Californie, Cannes 1957.

At his La Californie studio in Cannes, 1957, Pablo Picasso sits at a simple wooden desk, gazing directly at the camera. Dressed in the checkered trousers he favored for their association with the self-portraits of Courbet, he toys with a small, abstract cardboard sculpture. The artist is surrounded by his work: a large Cubist painting stands on an easel, while various other canvases and sculptures fill the active, creative space.
