Pablo Picasso and Paulo Picasso with tapestry "Les clowns à la lune bleue". La Californie, Cannes 1959.

In his sunlit studio at La Californie, Cannes, in 1959, Pablo Picasso intently appraises the tapestry "Les clowns à la lune bleue." The large artwork is held up for his inspection by his son, Paulo Picasso (left), and another man. The room is filled with other works, including a collection of decorative ceramics atop a wooden armoire and a bentwood rocking chair. Strong sunlight streams in from the right, casting dramatic shadows across the wooden floor where crumpled papers lie scattered.
