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

In his studio at the Villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso relaxes in a wicker rocking chair during a visit from the critic Clive Bell in 1958. Dressed in a green shirt and blue trousers, he rests his right hand behind his head. The high-ceilinged, rococo-style room is filled with an eclectic mix of art; behind him hangs a commanding cubist painting of two female nudes. Bright daylight from an arched doorway illuminates the creative clutter, casting long shadows across the wooden floor.
