Picasso and Jacqueline viewing a book about Bernard Palissy, French potter of the 16th century. La Californie, Cannes 1957.

In an art-filled room at Villa La Californie in Cannes, 1957, Pablo Picasso leans forward, intently studying a book about the 16th-century French potter Bernard Palissy. Beside him, Jacqueline Roque rests her chin in her hands with an engaged and thoughtful expression. The setting is rich with creative details; on the dark sofa behind them rests a decorative plate featuring a large, stylized owl and a kite bearing the year "1956."
