Pablo Picasso after signing his lithograph of Rimbaud. La Californie, Cannes 1961.

Pablo Picasso sits pensively in his studio at La Californie, Cannes, in 1961, after signing his lithograph of Arthur Rimbaud. Captured in profile, he wears an unbuttoned shirt and shorts, a cigarette between his fingers. The stark ink portrait rests on a wooden chair used as a makeshift easel, with a pair of eyeglasses on the paper. The ornate room is filled with the comfortable disarray of a creative life: a bullfight painting, a "Toros" poster, and stacked canvases are visible amidst the clutter. A makeshift ashtray made from a gourd sits on newspapers on the worn parquet floor.
