At his villa La Californie in Cannes, 1959, Pablo Picasso discusses a tapestry of his own design with expert Pierre Baudouin. Centered in patterned trousers with a cigarette to his lips, Picasso inspects the large textile, which features a stylized rooster within its bold, graphic composition. The heavy piece is held open by Luis Miguel Dominguin and the artist’s son, Paulo Picasso (right), as Baudouin leans in for a closer look on the sunlit patio.
