Pablo Picasso at La Californie, Cannes 1959.

In his studio at the Villa La Californie, Cannes, in 1959, a shirtless Pablo Picasso stands amidst a profusion of his recent work. Partially cloaked in shadow, he looks toward the camera, surrounded by wooden easels. The artworks on display include a vibrant linocut with an orange background, a sheet of small cubist portraits, and several wash drawings. Bright sunlight illuminates the wooden floors, where a ceramic plate with a fish design rests in the foreground.
