In his art-filled studio at La Californie, Cannes, Pablo Picasso sits with Suzanne Ramié, co-founder of the Madoura pottery works, examining invitation cards for an exhibition opening at her gallery on 5 April 1961. The artist, wearing dark-rimmed glasses, is also noted to be working on his "Oeuf de pâques" with wax oil pastels; a painter’s palette rests on the small table. The room is densely decorated with modern paintings, stringed instruments, and other artworks.
