Pablo Picasso discussing with the expert Pierre Baudouin the project for a tapestry designed by him. Luis Miguel Dominguin and at right Paulo Picasso. La Californie, Cannes 1959.

Pablo Picasso, in patterned trousers with arms crossed, contemplates a tapestry of his own design on the sunlit terrace of his Cannes villa, La Californie, in 1959. Expert Pierre Baudouin unrolls the textile, revealing its bold, abstract forms to the artist, bullfighter Luis Miguel Dominguin (left), and Picasso’s son Paulo (right), who leans in for a closer look. Bright sunlight casts long shadows of the four men across the stone floor.
