At his villa La Californie in Cannes, 1959, Pablo Picasso discusses a tapestry project with expert Pierre Baudouin, gesturing animatedly. Listening intently are Luis Miguel Dominguin and the artist's son, Paulo Picasso, at left. The scene, framed by a large, silhouetted sculpture in the foreground, is illuminated by bright sunlight streaming through an open doorway. The low-angled light casts long, dramatic shadows of the four men across a patterned rug laid out on the floor.
