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

At his villa La Californie in Cannes, 1956, Pablo Picasso looks directly at the camera. Dressed in a dark, collared shirt with red pinstripes, he presents a square ceramic tile depicting his son, Claude, as a bullfighter (“en torero”). The portrait of the boy, who wears a decorated montera and a spotted jacket, is inscribed with the date “28.9.56.” Picasso stands before a weathered wooden shuttered door, with the fronds of a palm tree visible in the background.
