Pablo Picasso and French painter and writer André Verdet, examinig two plasters of "Centaure". La Californie, Cannes 1956.
In his studio at Villa La Californie, Pablo Picasso leans over a round table to intently examine two plaster studies for his sculpture "Centaure." The French painter and writer André Verdet, seated opposite, observes with a pensive expression, his chin resting on his hand. Strong natural light floods the creatively cluttered room through a large, ornate window, revealing the silhouettes of palm trees against the bright sky. Cannes, 1956.
