Pablo Picasso and Henri Matarasso, gallery owner and publisher, checking the etching "La Minotauromachie". La Californie, Cannes 1961.

In his studio at La Californie, Cannes, Pablo Picasso sits in a modern armchair, leaning forward to intently examine his etching "La Minotauromachie". Standing over him is gallery owner and publisher Henri Matarasso, holding the large print for inspection. The room is filled with artworks and creative materials, with paintings propped against a dark sofa behind them. The 1961 photograph captures a candid moment of intense focus and collaboration between the two men.
