Pablo Picasso showing an India ink bullfight drawing to Edouard Pignon. La Californie, Cannes 1959.

In the cluttered studio of his villa La Californie, Cannes, Pablo Picasso shows an India ink bullfight drawing to fellow artist Edouard Pignon in 1959. Seated in a dark sweater, Picasso presents the open portfolio, which rests on a draped table. Pignon, wearing a patterned shirt, leans casually against a doorframe to examine the gestural sketch, signed and dated “10.6.59.” The richly packed environment includes other artworks, a hanging violin, and a prominent sculptural bust illuminated by a desk lamp.
