In a candid moment in Vallauris, Pablo Picasso concentrates as he signs an autograph for photographer Lucien Clergue on 29 March 1958. Wearing a soft cap and a heavy, shearling-lined jacket, Picasso is watched closely by the smiling Clergue, who leans in wearing a textured blazer and paisley scarf.
