Jacqueline pulls a surprise cracker with Claude Picasso. Behind her daughter Catherine Hutin, Paloma Picasso and Pablo Picasso looking on. On the right Gérard Sassier. La Californie, Cannes 1959.

In the sun-drenched living space of Villa La Californie, Jacqueline Roque pulls a surprise cracker with a gleeful Claude Picasso. At the center of the scene, Pablo Picasso himself looks on, a cigarette held in his mouth. His daughter Paloma watches intently, while Jacqueline’s daughter, Catherine Hutin, stands near the large window. Gérard Sassier observes from the far right. This candid moment, captured in Cannes in 1959, is illuminated by strong sunlight that casts long shadows across the art-filled room.
