Pablo Picasso stands in the Madoura pottery studio in Vallauris, 23 March 1953, looking directly at the camera with an intense expression. Dressed in a V-neck sweater and holding a cigarette, he is surrounded by his creations. In the foreground, ceramic plates decorated with bullfight scenes rest on stands, while behind him on a workbench sits a large, sculptural vase with distinctive wing-like handles.
