Pablo Picasso at work at the Madoura pottery. Vallauris 23.3.1953.
At the Madoura pottery in Vallauris on March 23, 1953, Pablo Picasso is captured in a moment of intense concentration. Dressed in a V-neck sweater and holding a cigarette, he examines a square ceramic plate decorated with a silhouetted design and bearing the day's date. His rustic studio is filled with the tools of a ceramicist—bowls of glaze and brushes—while numerous finished works, including large, uniquely shaped vases, line the tables and shelves in the background.
