In his studio at the Villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso leans over a sketchbook to comment on a drawing from 17 July 1959. Gathered around him are his guests: the writer Michel Leiris, his wife Louise Leiris, co-owner of the Parisian Leiris Gallery, and the publisher Lucie Weill. As the artist turns a page filled with line drawings, his audience observes with focused interest, absorbed in the intimacy of the creative moment.
