In the sunlit interior of the villa La Californie, Jacqueline Roque pulls a surprise cracker with a smiling Claude Picasso. At the center of the gathering, Pablo Picasso, cigarette in his mouth, observes the children. His daughter Paloma looks on intently, while behind her, Jacqueline’s daughter Catherine Hutin is partially visible. To the far right, Gérard Sassier watches the scene unfold. Stark shadows and eclectic artworks fill the room, capturing an informal, lively moment. Cannes, 1959.
