Pablo Picasso and Piero Crommelynck. Signing "Beau gentilhomme espagnol et femme à barbe". Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Mougins 1969.

In the study of his home, Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie in Mougins, Pablo Picasso and printmaker Piero Crommelynck examine a portfolio in 1969. The elder artist, in thick-rimmed glasses, leans over the pages of his series "Beau gentilhomme espagnol et femme à barbe," his focus intent. The wide-angle photograph captures the intimate, lived-in space at night, with arched windows, stacks of books, and a portrait of Picasso himself hanging on the wall between the two men.
