Maurice Thorez beams joyfully, his hands resting on a walking stick, during a private viewing of Pablo Picasso's book illustrations. The French Communist Party leader is accompanied by writer Louis Aragon, his wife Elsa Triolet, and her older sister Lilja Brik, muse of Vladimir Mayakovsky. Elegantly dressed in a dark fur coat and a distinctive white fur hat with a netted veil, Brik gazes upwards with a focused expression. The group attended the exhibition "Un Demi-Siècle de Livres Illustrés" at the Galerie H. Matarasso in Nice, December 1956.
