Pablo Picasso at the entrance of La Californie with his chauffeur and boxer dog Jan. Cannes 1958.

In a candid moment from 1958, Pablo Picasso exits his Cannes villa, La Californie. Dressed against the cold in a patterned knit cap and a heavy, sheepskin-lined coat, the artist descends the stone steps with a lit cigarette in hand. His boxer dog, Jan, stands on the step above him, while his chauffeur observes from the ornate, gated doorway. To the right, several of Picasso's abstract sculptures rest on the steps.
