Pablo Picasso and Pierre Baudouin with tapestry "Les clowns à la lune bleue". La Californie, Cannes 1959.

On the terrace of his villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso observes as Pierre Baudouin intently rolls up the tapestry "Les clowns à la lune bleue" in 1959. Dressed in a patterned shirt and checkered trousers, the artist stands back with a focused expression and a lit cigarette in hand. In the foreground, Baudouin crouches over the large textile, which features a stylized face characteristic of Picasso's work, set against a backdrop of lush foliage.
