Picasso's children Paloma and Claude are spending their school holidays with him. and here he introduces them to a new pet, a talking parrot, which is squatting on his arm. La Californie, Cannes 1960.

At his villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso introduces his children, Claude and Paloma, to a new pet during their school holidays in 1960. Shirtless in his cluttered studio, the artist holds a talking parrot on his forearm, pointing toward it as the children gaze with gentle curiosity. A Dalmatian peeks out from beneath a table as the room, filled with paintings, ceramics, and sculptures, offers an intimate glimpse into Picasso’s creative world.
