Pablo Picasso, photographer David Douglas Duncan and Claude Picasso. On the table a pile of english newspapers reporting on Pablo Picasso's London exhibition. La Californie, Cannes 1960.

In the art-filled studio of his villa La Californie in Cannes, a shirtless Pablo Picasso holds a cigarette as he shakes hands with photographer David Douglas Duncan in 1960. To the left, Picasso's son Claude sits in a rattan chair, playfully mimicking the artist with a toy pipe. The room is a testament to a life of creation, filled with paintings, decorated ceramics, and a low table piled high with English newspapers reporting on the artist's recent London exhibition.
