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

In the grand, high-ceilinged studio of his Villa La Californie, Pablo Picasso presents his wood sculptures, "The Bathers (Les Baigneuses)," to Suzanne and George Ramié. The artist, dressed in prominent plaid trousers, looks toward the camera while his guests are seen from behind observing the work. To the right, Jacqueline sits on a stool. The ornate room is filled with a creative disarray of artworks—canvases, tribal masks, and other sculptures—capturing the artist's busy environment. Cannes, 1957.
