In front of a ceramic figure, some broken tiles painted and treated like ceramics. Ground floor, Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Mougins 1974. (photographed after Pablo Picasso's death)

On the ground floor of Pablo Picasso’s home, Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie, a whimsical, pale-yellow anthropomorphic figurine stands amid broken, painted tiles. The ceramic figure features a smiling face and a striped, crescent-shaped horn. Nearby, a cylindrical vessel lies on its side, part of a cluttered studio tabletop photographed in Mougins in 1974, the year after the artist's death.
