La Californie, Cannes 1961.

Natural light streams through tall French doors into the artist's studio at the villa La Californie in Cannes, 1961. The space is filled with an eclectic mix of sculptures, paintings, and canvases. At the center, a large, flat cutout sculpture of a stylized figure stands on a table before a blank canvas. Surrounding it, the floor is adorned with painted ceramic vases and heads, while easels, sketches, and art materials occupy the foreground. A totem-like sculpture hangs on the right.
