La Californie, Cannes 1959.

The studio at Pablo Picasso’s Villa La Californie in Cannes, 1959. On the parquet floor, several reddish-brown linocut blocks are arranged, two of which are deeply carved with bold, abstract figures from a bullfight. Propped against them is a print on thick white paper showing a line drawing of a picador standing next to a horse. The background reveals a workspace with a wooden easel, a work table, and the base of a plaster column, all bathed in natural light.
