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

In the sunlit garden of his villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso examines the tapestry "Les clowns à la lune bleue" with Pierre Baudouin in 1959. The artist, dressed in a dark shirt and checked trousers, stands with a cigarette to his lips, his gaze on the artwork. Crouching beside the partially unfurled piece, Baudouin, in a quilted jacket and glasses, also holds a cigarette and looks up at Picasso as if in conversation. Lush Mediterranean foliage, including palm fronds and cypress trees, frames the scene.
