La Californie, Cannes 1959.

Inside the studio at the villa La Californie in Cannes, 1959, a large, woven wicker bull's head on an A-frame stand occupies the central space. At its base rests a framed painting of a stylized bust. To the right, canvases are stacked, the most prominent showing a mother and child in a modernist style. On the left, an armchair is covered in papers and fabric, while in the background, an owl sculpture sits atop a cast-iron radiator.
