Pablo Picasso at La Californie, Cannes 1960.

In his studio at the villa La Californie in Cannes, 1960, a shirtless Pablo Picasso sits in a dark chair. He looks directly at the camera with a gentle smile, a lit cigarette held between his clasped hands. The artist is surrounded by his work; a small, stylized skull painting and a larger abstract canvas hang on the wall behind him, which is also decorated with faint, vine-like patterns. Soft frontal lighting illuminates Picasso against the deep shadows of the room, which is filled with papers, brushes, and foliage.
