Pablo Picasso discussing with the expert Pierre Baudouin the project for a tapestry designed by him. Luis Miguel Dominguin and at left Paulo Picasso. La Californie, Cannes 1959.
On a sunlit terrace at his villa La Californie in Cannes, 1959, Pablo Picasso discusses a tapestry he designed. The artist, in distinctive houndstooth trousers, gestures with a lit cigarette while speaking with expert Pierre Baudouin. The partially unrolled tapestry, with its bold, modern design, lies at their feet. Listening intently are the bullfighter Luis Miguel Dominguin and, at far left, Picasso’s son, Paulo.
