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

In his studio at the Villa La Californie in Cannes, 1961, Pablo Picasso leans forward in a modern armchair to inspect his etching "La Minotauromachie". Standing over him, gallery owner and publisher Henri Matarasso holds the large print for review. Both men are deeply concentrated, surrounded by the creative disarray of the workspace, where ornate, rococo-style moldings frame a collection of artworks, ceramics, and personal photographs.
