On the eve of his 75th birthday, 24 October 1956, Pablo Picasso stands in his light-filled studio at the Villa La Californie in Cannes. With a direct gaze, he presents a line drawing of his friend, the writer Jacques Prévert. Dressed in a rumpled, short-sleeved shirt and patterned trousers, he holds the drawing, dated "26.7.56," in one hand and a spiral-bound sketchbook in the other. In the background, Swiss collector Anna Blankart is partially visible amidst the studio’s creative clutter.
