Paulo Picasso with tapestry "Les clowns à la lune bleue", La Californie, Cannes 1959.

At his father's villa, La Californie, in Cannes, Paulo Picasso stands on the top step of a wide stone staircase, holding up the tapestry "Les clowns à la lune bleue" in 1959. Dressed in a dark ribbed sweater, he presents the large artwork just outside an open, glass-paned door. Bright sunlight casts strong shadows on the steps, while to the right of the grand entrance, an arched window with a decorative iron balcony is visible.
