Edouard Pignon and Pablo Picasso viewing photos by Edward Quinn, which the latter brought as a gift. La Californie, Cannes 1959.

At his villa La Californie in Cannes, 1959, a shirtless Pablo Picasso and the artist Edouard Pignon review a portfolio of photographs brought as a gift by Edward Quinn. Wearing dark-rimmed glasses, Picasso is absorbed by the images. Across the cluttered coffee table, Pignon sits in a wicker chair, turning towards Picasso as if in conversation. The informal scene is set amidst the creative disarray of the studio, with stacked canvases, a mandolin, and other artistic materials visible in the background.

This photo is also available as a vintage print in the following sizes:
