Pablo Picasso and French painter and writer André Verdet, examinig two plasters of "Centaure". Jaime Sabartés in the background. La Californie, Cannes 1956. (Digitized from Vintage Print, original negative missing)

In his studio at Villa La Californie, Cannes, Pablo Picasso stands in a paint-splattered shirt, attentively examining two plaster “Centaure” sculptures. Seated beside him, French painter and writer André Verdet gestures as he speaks, a copy of “Le Monde” resting on his lap. In the background, Picasso’s secretary Jaime Sabartés is visible in a distinctive rocking chair. The scene from 1956 is filled with canvases, papers, and the natural light from large windows.
