At his villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso and Spanish publisher Gustavo Gili intently examine a gold clock. The timepiece was a gift from art dealer Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler, seen standing in the background, presented on the occasion of the artist’s 75th birthday on 25 October 1956. Leaning forward under the lamplight, Picasso points to a detail, his expression and Gili's one of deep concentration, as Kahnweiler looks on.
