A rare document of Pablo Picasso with his four children, Paloma Picasso, Maya Picasso, Claude Picasso and Paulo Picasso. Christmastime at La Galloise. The wagon was a gift from reporter Alfredo Quaglino and comes from Sicily. Vallauris 1953.

In a rare family portrait, Pablo Picasso is joined by all four of his children at his villa, La Galloise, in Vallauris during Christmas 1953. Seated on a low bench, the artist intently examines a Sicilian wagon, a gift from reporter Alfredo Quaglino. His eldest son, Paulo, crouches to explain the toy to the younger children—Maya, Claude, and Paloma—who are gathered on the geometrically patterned floor. The intimate scene unfolds before a Christmas tree, with Picasso's ceramics stacked against the wall in the background.
