Pablo Picasso and Douglas Cooper with sculpture "Femme au chapeau". La Californie, Cannes 1961.

In the sunlit garden of his villa La Californie in Cannes, 1961, Pablo Picasso animatedly discusses his sculpture "Femme au chapeau". The artist, wearing an open white shirt and holding a lit cigarette, gestures as he speaks with the art historian and collector Douglas Cooper. Cooper smiles warmly, his arm resting on Picasso’s shoulders. The white, abstract sculpture, crafted from what appears to be folded sheet metal with cubist cutouts, stands on a rough-hewn stone plinth amidst the dense, textured foliage of palm trees and other lush plants.
