Opening of the Picasso Museum Paris (Musée national Picasso Paris), located in the Marais Quarter. Paris 1985.

At the 1985 opening of the Musée national Picasso-Paris in the Marais quarter, two visitors attentively study a large, vertical modernist painting. The man, wearing a light-tan jacket, holds a gallery brochure and glasses, while the woman beside him is dressed in a pale yellow blouse. The Cubist-style work, with its abstract figures, hangs on a white wall in a gallery with light gray stone floors and a tall doorway that opens into an adjacent room.
