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

Pablo Picasso celebrates Christmas 1953 with his four children at his home, La Galloise, in Vallauris. The artist crouches on the patterned floor, dabbing with a brush at an ornate Sicilian cart pulled by two horses—a gift from reporter Alfredo Quaglino. His eldest son, Paulo, cigarette in hand, hangs a bell on the Christmas tree. On the right, his daughter Maya sits with the two youngest children: Claude, in lederhosen, examines an ornament, while a young Paloma watches her father with the toy.
