La Californie 1961.

In a dimly lit room at Pablo Picasso’s villa, La Californie, in 1961, two artworks are tacked to a dark wall. The upper, larger piece is a blue-toned line drawing of two nude female figures, one standing while the other is seated. Below hangs a smaller, colorful painting showing palm trees through a red-orange arched window. In the background, a small, carved mask is mounted on a molding as bright sunlight streams in from a window at right, creating deep shadows and an intimate, atmospheric quality.
