Pablo Picasso and Edward Quinn. Photo probably by Jacqueline Roque. La Californie, Cannes 1959.

In his La Californie studio in Cannes, a shirtless Pablo Picasso holds up a large cloth decorated with bullfighting motifs. Beside him, photographer Edward Quinn, dressed in a red-and-white checked shirt, observes with a slight smile. The informal scene, captured in 1959 and likely photographed by Jacqueline Roque, is surrounded by Picasso's work, including a vibrant abstract painting on an easel and a collection of linocuts resting against the wall.
