La Californie, Cannes 1960

At the villa La Californie in Cannes, 1960, strong sunlight streams into the cluttered artist's studio, casting high-contrast shadows across the scene. A large canvas on a central easel displays a drawing of leaves, while below it, the distinct shadow of a person’s profile falls across a blank white board. In the foreground, other works are propped up, including two small still lifes and a framed drawing of a female torso, capturing the textures and forms within the working space.
