Pablo Picasso at work at the Madoura pottery. Vallauris 23.3.1953.

At the sunlit Madoura pottery workshop in Vallauris, Pablo Picasso stands in profile, holding up a rectangular ceramic dish to inspect his work. Adorned with a painted bullfight scene, the piece is inscribed with the date, 23 March 1953. Dressed in a heavy-knit sweater over a collared shirt, the artist is silhouetted by the bright light from a window. The studio is filled with other works in progress, including large, unfinished sculptures and decorated plates resting among the tools of the trade.
