La Californie, Cannes 1959.

Artworks fill Pablo Picasso’s studio at the villa La Californie in Cannes, 1959. On the left, a sculptural bull's head of woven wicker sits on a blue stand. Dominating the right is a large, unframed painting on a stretcher depicting a family—a man, woman, and child—rendered in a monochromatic palette of grays and whites with elongated figures. Below this, a smaller abstract piece rests on an easel, while in the shadowy background, a small sculpture of an owl is perched on a surface. A small, framed drawing of a bust rests on the floor in the foreground.
