On the right Pablo Picasso's chauffeur Jeannot. Unveiling of mural "The Fall of Icarus" for the conference hall of UNESCO building in Paris. The mural is made up of forty wooden panels. Initially titled "The Forces of Life and the Spirit Triumphing over Evil", the composition was renamed in 1958 by George Salles, who preferred the current title, "The Fall of Icarus". Vallauris, 29 March 1958.

In a candid moment captured amidst public attention in Vallauris, Pablo Picasso stands pensively, a cigarette in the corner of his mouth. Dressed in a heavy, shearling-lined coat and a flat cap, he is encircled by onlookers while his chauffeur, Jeannot, holds open the door to a car. The photograph was taken on 29 March 1958, the day of the unveiling of Picasso's mural "The Fall of Icarus", a work of forty wooden panels destined for the UNESCO building in Paris.
