Pablo Picasso and Jacqueline viewing a book about Bernard Palissy, French potter of the 16th century. La Californie, Cannes 1957.

At his villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso gestures with both hands over a book about the 16th-century French potter Bernard Palissy. Across the table, Jacqueline Roque leans forward, her chin resting on clasped hands in deep concentration. The 1957 scene is surrounded by an abundance of art, including a large painted vase, a kite marked “1956,” and a stylized owl figure in the background.
