Pablo Picasso, Luis Miguel Dominguin and Paulo Picasso. La Californie, Cannes 1959.

Silhouetted against the sun-drenched terrace of the villa La Californie in Cannes, 1959, stand Pablo Picasso (right), bullfighter Luis Miguel Dominguin (center), and Picasso’s son, Paulo (left). Photographed from the darker interior, their long shadows stretch across the floor towards the viewer. Picasso raises a cigarette to his lips in an informal moment, while details of the room, including a wooden chair and a patterned rug, are visible in the foreground.
