Pablo Picasso at La Californie, Cannes 8.9.1960.

Pablo Picasso at his villa La Californie in Cannes, 8 September 1960. Viewed through a wide, arched opening, the artist sits at a large oval table, occupied by a telephone call amidst a multitude of papers. Sunlight streams through a tall window behind him, illuminating the grand room that serves as his busy studio. The foreground is a creative jumble of personal items: a straw hat on a chair, an acoustic guitar, and artworks stacked against a pillar, including a portfolio titled "TOPOLSKI CHRONICLE 1956". A single bare lightbulb hangs in contrast to the ornate surroundings.
