Pablo Picasso at Château de Vauvenargues 1960.

In his high-ceilinged studio at the Château de Vauvenargues, 1960, Pablo Picasso stands amidst monumental canvases from his "Las Meninas" series, after Diego Velázquez. The modernist works contrast with the room’s classical grandeur, highlighted by an ornate plaster relief on the back wall. This relief, featuring a portrait of the Infanta Margarita, directly references the subject of his paintings.
