In Vence, 1953, French painter Henri Matisse stands in conversation with Carleton Smith, music editor for *Esquire*. Distinguished by his full white beard and fedora, Matisse stands on a stone step in a light-colored suit, looking down towards his companion. Smith, dressed in a dark, double-breasted suit, looks up at the artist with a slight smile. Their amiable meeting takes place outside the Foyer Lacordaire, adjacent to the chapel decorated by Matisse.
