La Californie, Cannes 1959.

In Pablo Picasso's studio at his villa La Californie, Cannes, 1959, a strong shaft of sunlight illuminates a cubist-style painting. Below it, a large worktable is piled with prints—one depicting a bullfighting scene—and paper cut-out sculptures, including a star-like bird figure. A jar of paintbrushes rests on the table near a cast-iron radiator, while in the background, a tall, arched doorway offers a glimpse into another room.
