Director Luciano Emmer (left) films Pablo Picasso at the Madoura pottery workshop in Vallauris on 14 October 1953. Deeply concentrated, the artist uses a sharp instrument to scrape a portrait design onto the surface of a large clay plate. His rustic workbench holds various tools and brushes. On a shelf above, a statuette of St. Claude—the patron saint of potters, after whom Picasso’s son was named—overlooks the scene as it is captured for the film "Pablo Picasso."
