Pablo Picasso with oceanologist Jacques-Yves Cousteau and his wife Simone Cousteau, a famous diver. La Californie, Cannes 1958.

In his studio at the Villa La Californie, Cannes, Pablo Picasso hosts oceanologist Jacques-Yves Cousteau and his wife, the diver Simone Cousteau, in 1958. The artist stands to the right, arms crossed and with an intense expression. In the center, Jacques-Yves, dressed in a light-colored suit, looks upward as if in mid-conversation. Beside him, Simone appears pensive in a leopard-print coat and pearls, holding a pair of eyeglasses in her hands. A fourth, partially visible man stands to the far left.
