At his villa La Californie, Pablo Picasso examines the first copy of a deluxe edition of poems by Pierre Reverdy, for which he created the illustrations. He stands with arms crossed, looking down intently at the open book. With him are gallerist Louise Leiris, who studies the page with a pensive expression, and his son Paulo Picasso, who looks over her shoulder with a cigarette dangling from his lips. The book is open to a page displaying one of the artist's bold, abstract graphics. Cannes, 1959.
