La Californie, Cannes 1959.

A minimalist line drawing by Pablo Picasso, dated "6.12.59. II," rests on an easel in his studio at the Villa La Californie in Cannes. Executed in black ink, the fluid work depicts a dynamic scene: a figure on a rearing horse brandishes a spear toward a contorted man on the ground. The drawing is presented in an open portfolio, while the softly focused studio background reveals other artworks and a folder on the floor bearing the artist’s name.
