Pablo Picasso and Hjalmar Boyesen. He collaborated with Pablo Picasso 1956-1958, and executed some mosaics for him. La Californie 1956.

In an art-filled room at his villa La Californie in 1956, Pablo Picasso is captured in an intimate moment with Hjalmar Boyesen. Seated in an ornate chair, Picasso, wearing a simple open-collared shirt, directs his intense gaze toward his companion. Boyesen, a collaborator who executed mosaics for the artist, stands with glasses and dark, wavy hair, looking down at a cigarette. A cubist still-life hangs on the paneled wall above Picasso, surrounded by other paintings, sculptures, and plants that fill the creative space.
