Pablo Picasso with oceanologist Jacques-Yves Cousteau and his wife Simone Cousteau, a famous diver. La Californie, Cannes 1958.

At his villa La Californie in Cannes, 1958, Pablo Picasso converses with oceanologist Jacques-Yves Cousteau and his wife, the diver Simone Cousteau. The artist, smiling warmly in a bright yellow polo shirt, speaks as Simone, stylish in a leopard-print coat and pearls, looks on. Jacques-Yves, seen in profile, holds a pipe and listens intently. The room’s personal details, including a still-life painting and a guitar on the wall behind Picasso, create a relaxed and intimate atmosphere.
