Pablo Picasso works on "La Pique" at the Madoura pottery. Vallauris 23.3.1953.

In a moment of intense concentration, Pablo Picasso leans over a workbench at the Madoura pottery in Vallauris on 23 March 1953. Wearing a textured V-neck sweater, his gaze is directed downwards as he holds a paintbrush poised above "La Pique," a rectangular ceramic platter decorated with a bold, graphic design. The cluttered table holds other tools of the trade, including various brushes and a pair of eyeglasses resting in the soft-focus foreground.
