Pablo Picasso with female body mask Nevimbumbao Vanuatu, a present received from Matisse. La Californie, Cannes 1957.
In his studio at La Californie, Cannes, in 1957, Pablo Picasso stands beside a Nevimbumbao female body mask from Vanuatu, a gift he received from Henri Matisse. The artist, dressed in a bright yellow sweater and dark trousers, holds a cigarette and looks directly at the camera with a serious expression. The cluttered workspace is filled with canvases and other artworks, including a white ceramic head resting on a table to the right.
