Pablo Picasso, Paulo Picasso and Françoise Gilot at Le Fournas, Vallauris 1953.

In his rustic studio, Le Fournas, in Vallauris, Pablo Picasso contemplates a large sculpture assembled from found objects, 1953. The artist, clad in a beret and coat, stands behind a cluttered workbench. Seated in the light of a large open doorway are his partner, Françoise Gilot, who looks directly at the camera, and his son, Paulo Picasso. Natural light illuminates the intimate scene, contrasting the bright, hilly landscape outside with the shadowed interior where a goat’s skull is mounted on the wall.
