The storerooms at Madoura pottery where Pablo Picasso keeps the originals.

A collection of Pablo Picasso's original artworks fills a storeroom at the Madoura pottery. Central to the image is a sculpted and painted head of a woman with large, circular eyes. In the foreground, a ceramic plate is marked with the date "23.3.53". Leaning against the textured wall behind are several tall, narrow panels painted with stylized female figures.
