The children of Luis Miguel Dominguin with tapestry "Les clowns à la lune bleue". La Californie, Cannes 1959.

The children of Luis Miguel Dominguin ascend the grand stone steps of the Villa La Californie in Cannes, 1959. Seen from behind, the boy in a cream sweater and the girl in a blue pinafore each carry a bright yellow balloon. Draped over the steps in the foreground is the tapestry "Les clowns à la lune bleue," its dark red background decorated with abstract, childlike drawings. Through the open French doors, the villa’s dimly lit interior is visible.
