Pablo Picasso, the writer Michel Leiris, his wife Louise Leiris, owner with Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler of the Leiris Gallery Paris. La Californie, Cannes 1959.

In the cluttered studio of his Villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso examines a large art book presented by gallerist Louise Leiris. Her husband, the writer Michel Leiris, stands beside her, also focused on the expressive ink drawings. Louise, a central figure with one hand on her hip, gestures towards the open pages. The scene, captured in 1959, is surrounded by the creative chaos of the artist's workspace, including an easel, drawings, and a plaster cast of a hand.
