Encouraged by his father, Claude Picasso tried to do a portrait of Pablo Picasso, portraying him with a round face, deep furrows on his forehead, a triangle for a nose, and streaks of hair on the sides of his head. La Galloise, Vallauris 16.4.1953.

Pablo Picasso sits on the floor of his villa, La Galloise, guiding his son Claude’s attempt to draw his portrait. Claude looks on intently as his father points to the easel, which holds the drawing—a round face with deep furrows, a triangular nose, and streaks of hair. Standing behind the easel, Françoise Gilot holds their daughter Paloma, completing the intimate scene of shared creativity. Other children's works and family art, including a collection of silhouette profiles dated "1952," are displayed on the wall. Vallauris, April 16, 1953.
