Picasso with Claude in "swashbuckler" (”cap et épée”) dress. Paloma with doll. La Californie, Cannes, Christmas 1955.
At his La Californie studio in Cannes, Pablo Picasso playfully engages his children on Christmas, 1955. Seated on the floor, he points a fencing foil towards his son Claude, who wears a swashbuckler ("cap et épée") costume with a dark cape and feathered hat. To the left, his daughter Paloma kneels with her doll, observing the make-believe duel. The intimate family scene unfolds before a backdrop of the artist's monumental Cubist paintings.
