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, 1961, Pablo Picasso examines his etching "La Minotauromachie." Seated in a modern armchair, his glasses pushed up on his forehead, the artist is joined by gallery owner and publisher Henri Matarasso. Leaning in from the right, Matarasso helps hold the large print as both men intently study the complex mythological scene. The background reveals the intimate clutter of the studio, with a copy of Picasso’s "Toros y Toreros" visible on a sofa.
