Pablo Picasso and Edward Quinn with the litho "seigneur et fille", dedicated to Edward Quinn. La Californie, Cannes 8.9.1960. Photo probably taken by Jacqueline with Quinn's Leica camera.

In the cluttered studio of his villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso holds up the lithograph "Seigneur et Fille," which he has just dedicated to Edward Quinn. The photographer stands to the right, smiling warmly while holding his own twin-lens reflex camera. Picasso, in a striped tank top, presents the work as the room, filled with paintings, sculptures, and stacked canvases, testifies to a busy creative life. This moment of informal intimacy was captured on 8 September 1960, likely by Jacqueline Picasso with Quinn's Leica camera.
