La Californie, Cannes 1957.

An interior view of the artist's studio at the Villa La Californie in Cannes, 1957. In the foreground, a framed portrait of a woman, dated "13.2.57.", leans against furniture. Nearby, a white mosaic panel with two smiling faces rests next to a dark stove topped by a small monkey figurine. The room is filled with a profusion of works—abstract sculptures, sketches, and blank canvases—that contrast with the ornate, classical wall paneling of the villa.
