Pablo Picasso in the background. La Californie, Cannes 1959.

In his villa La Californie in Cannes, 1959, Pablo Picasso is seen from behind, wearing a vibrant orange-red shirt. The interior’s ornately paneled walls are densely hung with artworks, including a large abstract canvas, a still life, and stringed instruments. In the foreground, a sofa cluttered with papers and a drawing of a bullfight scene is partially obscured by a large, biomorphic cardboard cutout.
