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

In his studio at the villa La Californie, Cannes, in 1957, Pablo Picasso and Jacqueline Roque examine a book about the 16th-century French potter Bernard Palissy. Seated in a wicker chair, Picasso holds the volume open to a drawing of an elongated, fish-like creature. Jacqueline leans forward with a contemplative expression, her chin resting on her hand. The room is filled with artworks, including a large, hand-painted vase, a kite dated “1956,” and a ceramic plate featuring a stylized owl on the wall behind them.
