Pablo Picasso at work at the Madoura pottery in Vallauris. Above him is a statue of St-Claude, the patron saint of the potters, whose name was given to his younger son. Vallauris 23.3.1953.
Pablo Picasso stands intently focused on his craft at the Madoura pottery workshop in Vallauris, 23 March 1953. Wearing a V-neck sweater and glasses, he is positioned at a long wooden workbench covered with unfired pottery, applying a brush to a wide, three-legged bowl. The rustic studio, with its exposed beams and uneven brick floor, is filled with the tools and creations of a dedicated artisan. Above him is a statue of St-Claude, the patron saint of potters, after whom Picasso named his son Claude.
