Pablo Picasso and Pierre Baudouin. Pablo Picasso's boxer dog Jan. La Californie, Cannes 1959.

In the grand, sunlit studio of his villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso converses with Pierre Baudouin in 1959. Picasso, wearing a dark shirt and patterned trousers, stands with one hand in his pocket. Baudouin, in a quilted jacket and glasses, holds a large cardboard tube and listens intently. In a patch of sunlight at lower left, the artist’s boxer dog, Jan, rests on the floor. The ornate room is a dynamic mix of a formal interior and a working studio, filled with numerous canvases and a prominent sculpted bust.
