Pablo Picasso on the occasion of the visit of Clive Bell. La Californie, Cannes 1958.

At his Villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso sits in contemplative profile during a 1958 visit from Clive Bell. The artist is surrounded by his creations; his monumental painting, *Les Demoiselles d'Avignon*, dominates the ornate, rococo-paneled wall behind him. In the foreground of the high-ceilinged studio, a simple line drawing of a clown is visible among other pieces in a space filled with natural light from the left.
