Pablo Picasso after signing his lithograph of Rimbaud. La Californie, Cannes 1961.
At his villa La Californie in Cannes, 1961, Pablo Picasso sits in a high-backed armchair after signing his lithograph of Arthur Rimbaud. Dressed in an unbuttoned shirt and shorts, he holds a lit cigarette, gazing thoughtfully. The print rests on a drawing board propped against a Windsor chair, surrounded by the creative clutter of his studio: a "Toros" poster, family photographs, and stacks of canvases. In the foreground, an ashtray fashioned from a hollowed-out gourd rests on a pile of newspapers.
