Pablo Picasso showing a linoblock to Edouard Pignon. La Californie, Cannes 1959.

In his art-filled studio at the villa La Californie in Cannes, 1959, Pablo Picasso leans over to show a linoblock to fellow artist Edouard Pignon. Dressed in a striped shirt, Picasso gestures as he speaks, while Pignon looks up from a wooden rocking chair. The intimate scene is set amidst a creative clutter of canvases, a cubist painting, and musical instruments. In the background, a barefoot woman walks away through an ornate glass-panelled doorway.
