La Californie, seen from the garden. This side of the house faced south, and on the top floor where Pablo Picasso worked and fed the pigeons, he could see the Mediterranean. Cannes 1961. Today: Pavillon de Flore, 22 Avenue de Coste Belle, Cannes.

Seen from its overgrown garden in Cannes, 1961, Pablo Picasso's villa, La Californie, is partially framed by dark palm fronds. The low-angle view captures the ornate, south-facing facade, with intricate carvings and balconies featuring decorative iron railings. A classical-style urn is nestled in the foreground shrubbery. The top floor served as Picasso's studio, where he worked, fed pigeons, and could see the Mediterranean.
