Pablo Picasso signing Rimbaud litho. With Henri Matarasso's niece. La Californie, Cannes 1961.

At his Villa La Californie studio in Cannes, 1961, Pablo Picasso intently examines a lithograph of Arthur Rimbaud presented by the niece of Henri Matarasso. Casually dressed in a shirt and shorts, the artist leans forward from his armchair toward the print, which rests on a Windsor-style chair serving as a makeshift easel. The floor is covered with chalk drawings, and other prints from the series are scattered around the creatively cluttered workspace.
