Pablo Picasso and Henri Matarasso, gallery owner and publisher, checking the etching "La Minotauromachie". La Californie, Cannes 1961.
In the creative disarray of his studio at Villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso intently examines the etching "La Minotauromachie." Seated in a curved armchair, the artist, wearing dark-rimmed glasses, holds the bottom edge of the print. Gallery owner and publisher Henri Matarasso stands before him, presenting the complex work. In the background, a "Toros y Toreros" poster is visible amidst rolled canvases and scattered art supplies, documenting an intimate moment of artistic review in 1961.
