La Californie, Cannes 1956.

At Villa La Californie in Cannes, 1956, two rough-textured cat sculptures are captured from a high angle on the geometrically patterned floor. The larger sculpture stands on all fours, while a smaller one in the foreground assumes a prowling pose, both mounted on flat bases. The composition includes glimpses of furniture, art materials, and the bare foot of a person in the background. Strong light casts deep shadows, accentuating the textures of the art and the floor tiles.
