Paloma Picasso watching her father Pablo Picasso dedicating "Faune (Pour mon ami E. Quinn) see Pic600664. La Californie, Cannes 1960.

In 1960, within the creative chaos of his studio at the villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso sits at a large wooden table with his daughter, Paloma. Shirtless and focused, Picasso dedicates the artwork "Faune" to his friend, photographer Edward Quinn, as Paloma watches. The oval table is cluttered with papers, tools, and a magnum of champagne, all bathed in bright light from a tall, arched window. The densely packed room is filled with paintings, sculptures, and the ephemera of a working artist.
