In his villa La Californie, Cannes, 1961, Pablo Picasso is captured in deep concentration working on "Oeuf de pâques." He leans over a small table, using Caran d'Ache wax oil pastels from an open box beside him. The studio is filled with artworks, including modernist paintings and stringed instruments. To the left, visible among the papers, are invitation cards for an exhibition opening at La Galerie Madoura on April 5.
