Pablo Picasso with "Claude Picasso en torero". La Californie, Cannes 1956. see also b/w Pic560166

In profile at his Villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso studies a painted ceramic tile he holds in both hands. The artwork is a portrait of his son, “Claude Picasso en torero,” which the artist dated September 28, 1956. Dressed in a simple black shirt, Picasso stands outdoors near a white wooden pillar. The tile depicts a young Claude with large, dark eyes, wearing an oversized beret and a spotted collar.
