Pablo Picasso and his Dalmatian dog Perro. La Californie, Cannes 1959.

In his studio at the Villa La Californie in Cannes, a shirtless Pablo Picasso smiles down at his Dalmatian, Perro. The dog stands on its hind legs, its front paws placed on the artist’s hands at his waist in a playful interaction. The cluttered, creative space is filled with paintings, an easel, and a guitar, illuminated by light from an ornate window. 1959.
