Pablo Picasso discussing with the expert Pierre Baudouin the project for a tapestry designed by him. Luis Miguel Dominguin and at left Paulo Picasso. La Californie, Cannes 1959.

At his villa La Californie in Cannes, 1959, Pablo Picasso gestures as he discusses a tapestry of his own design. He is joined by the expert Pierre Baudouin, bullfighter Luis Miguel Dominguin, and his son, Paulo Picasso, at far left. Standing in a bright doorway overlooking a garden, their long shadows are cast by the strong sunlight across the partially unrolled tapestry at their feet. In the foreground, the composition is framed by the dark profile of a sculpted bust.
