Pablo Picasso and Pierre Baudouin with tapestry "Les clowns à la lune bleue". La Californie, Cannes 1959.
Pablo Picasso stands in an open doorway at his villa La Californie, looking down with intense focus as Pierre Baudouin kneels on the stone terrace before him. Baudouin carefully unrolls the large tapestry "Les clowns à la lune bleue" for the artist’s inspection. Dressed in a dark shirt and patterned trousers, Picasso observes the presentation, his cluttered studio visible behind him. The candid moment was captured in Cannes, 1959.
