Drawing lesson given by Pablo Picasso and Françoise Gilot to Claude Picasso and Paloma Picasso. La Galloise, Vallauris 16.4.1953.
On 16 April 1953, Pablo Picasso and Françoise Gilot give a drawing lesson to their children in the living room of La Galloise, their villa in Vallauris. Seated on a couch with a cigarette, Picasso watches intently as Gilot sketches on a board laid on a shaggy rug. Their son, Claude, stands observing his mother, his hands held behind his back. To the right, their daughter, Paloma, dressed in a striped pinafore, sits on the floor and looks directly toward the viewer with a curious expression. On the wall hangs a Cubist line drawing of a face.
