Pablo Picasso holding a small erotic bronze, Priapus, inspired by some primitive sculptures that had always interested and intrigued him. Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Mougins 1969.

In his Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie home in Mougins, 1969, Pablo Picasso looks directly at the camera. Seated at a wooden table, he is dressed in a vibrant blue knit cardigan and a mustard-yellow turtleneck, holding a small erotic bronze, "Priapus." The sculpture was inspired by the primitive art forms that had long intrigued him. His personal, cluttered space, with a modern white lamp and various papers, forms the backdrop to the portrait.
