Pablo Picasso and Henri Matarasso, gallery owner and publisher, checking the etching "La Minotauromachie". La Californie, Cannes 1961.

At his villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso intently examines his etching "La Minotauromachie." Seated in a modern armchair, his shirt unbuttoned, he holds the bottom of the print while gallery owner and publisher Henri Matarasso leans over a table to present it. The intimate 1961 scene unfolds in a creatively cluttered room, where a sofa piled with books—including "Toros y Toreros"—and other artworks are visible beneath ornate rococo moldings.
