Pablo Picasso, Luis Miguel Dominguin and his wife Lucia Bosè. La Californie, Cannes 1959.

In the sunlit studio of his villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso concentrates on decorating a small plate. He is closely observed by actress Lucia Bosè, who leans forward with focused attention, and her husband, bullfighter Luis Miguel Dominguin, who looks over the artist’s shoulder. The room, filled with canvases and sketches, provides the setting for this moment of shared creative focus in 1959.
