Pablo Picasso with oceanologist Jacques-Yves Cousteau and his wife his wife Simone. La Californie, Cannes 1958.

In his art-filled studio at the Villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso shares a book with oceanologist Jacques-Yves Cousteau and his wife, Simone, in 1958. Cousteau, holding a pipe, leans over the artist’s shoulder to examine the pages. Dressed in a leopard-print coat and a distinctive star-shaped earring, Simone looks on intently. In the background, a Cubist-style painting rests on an easel among sculpted busts and other works.
