Pablo Picasso dedicating "Pour Sabartés" (post mortem). Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Mougins 1969.

A close-up captures Pablo Picasso’s hands as he adds a posthumous dedication, “Pour Sabartés,” to a line drawing for his late friend and secretary, Jaume Sabartés. One hand, emerging from a patterned sleeve and adorned with a simple ring, steadies the paper while the other signs. This intimate moment was photographed at Picasso's home, Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie in Mougins, in 1969. The new inscription is added to the work, which already bears a signature and the date "10.12.59".
