La Californie, Cannes 1959.

Pablo Picasso’s studio at his villa La Californie in Cannes, 1959. The space is filled with paintings and sculptures in various stages of completion. Against the back wall leans a large canvas depicting stylized figures, while to the left, several works are stacked, including a cubist portrait dated "22.7.57". Nearby, an owl sculpture sits on a shelf, while freestanding cutout sculptures and painted tiles occupy the foreground, conveying a sense of prolific and ongoing creation.
