Pablo Picasso working in his sculpture studio Le Fournas making a sculpture figure with odds and ends from his scrap heap. Here he is collecting a branch to ad to the sculpture. The branch was later replaced by a key. The finished sculpture got the name "La femme à la clé (La Taulière)" ("Woman with a key"). Le Fournas, Vallauris 1953.

Pablo Picasso steps into the sunlit doorway of his sculpture studio, Le Fournas, in Vallauris, 1953. He is collecting a branch for a figure assembled from his scrap heap—a piece that would become "La femme à la clé". The branch was later replaced by a key. Bright sun casts a stark ladder shadow against the rustic stone building, while inside the dark interior, another sculpture is partially visible.
