At his villa La Californie in Cannes, 1959, Pablo Picasso contemplates two of his abstract drawings, displayed on a bentwood rocking chair. The artist, in a striped shirt and checkered trousers, stands with his back to the camera, surrounded by guests. From left, gallery owner Louise Leiris smiles as she observes, alongside her husband Michel Leiris and publisher André Weill. On the far right, the back of Picasso’s son, Paulo, is also visible in the well-appointed room.
