Pablo Picasso, with his back to the camera, presents new work to a group of guests at his villa La Californie in Cannes, 1959. His audience includes Louise Leiris, co-owner of the Leiris Gallery in Paris, with her husband Michel Leiris; André Weill, a publisher of the artist's work; and Picasso's son, Paulo. Their attention is focused on two large, near-identical cubist-style drawings of a face, propped for display upon a bentwood rocking chair in the brightly lit studio.
