Pablo Picasso and Jacqueline viewing a book about Bernard Palissy, French potter of the 16th century. La Californie, Cannes 1957.
In his art-filled home, La Californie, in Cannes, Pablo Picasso leans forward in a wicker chair, his hands holding the pages of a book on 16th-century French potter Bernard Palissy. Seated with Jacqueline in 1957, the artist, wearing dark-rimmed glasses, is absorbed by an intricate oval design. The studio is a dense collection of personal treasures: paintings of a stylized bird and a still life hang near a lute, while a large arched mirror reflects the creative disarray of the space.
