Pablo Picasso signing. Louise Leiris, owner with Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler of the Leiris Gallery Paris, André Weill, publisher of some deluxe editions of Pablo Picasso's work, and Paulo Picasso. La Californie, Cannes 1959.

At his villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso leans intently over a large abstract drawing to sign it. The artist, wearing houndstooth trousers, is observed by an intimate group: Louise Leiris, co-owner of the Parisian Leiris Gallery, stands with arms crossed, while publisher André Weill and Picasso’s son, Paulo, also look on. The artwork is propped on a wicker chair amidst the creative atmosphere of his studio in 1959.
