Pablo Picasso and Henri Matarasso, gallery owner and publisher. La Californie, Cannes 1959.

In his Villa La Californie studio in Cannes, 1959, Pablo Picasso speaks with gallery owner and publisher Henri Matarasso. Picasso, on the right, stands casually in an open dark shirt and patterned trousers, his hand tucked into his waistband. Facing him, Matarasso is more formally attired in a suit and overcoat, holding a thick book. The room is a backdrop of creative work, its walls adorned with a cubist painting and a still life near a mounted lute, while a table between the men is laden with stacks of paper and other materials.
