Clown scene: Pablo Picasso in drag. La Californie, Cannes 1958.

In his studio at La Californie, Cannes, in 1958, Pablo Picasso stands with his face obscured by a stylized female mask featuring long, closed eyes and puckered lips. He is dressed in a heavy, double-breasted shearling coat worn open over a knit sweater and light-colored corduroy trousers, with his hands tucked into the pockets. The environment is one of creative disarray, with a Cubist painting, a sculptural bust, and a mandolin visible in the background, while a fedora rests on a small wooden chair nearby.
