Pablo Picasso showing Suzanne and George Ramié wood sculptures "The Bathers (Les Baigneuses)". On the right Jacqueline. La Californie, Cannes 1957.

In his studio at the villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso, wearing a dark shirt and bold plaid trousers, presents his group of wood sculptures, "The Bathers (Les Baigneuses)," to Suzanne and George Ramié in 1957. As the couple observes the work, Jacqueline is seated on a low stool to the right. The grand room, with its classical paneling, is filled with a profusion of art: tribal masks adorn the wall, paintings rest on an easel and lean against furniture, and a table holds brushes, ceramic pitchers, and other supplies.
