Pablo Picasso working in his sculpture studio Le Fournas making a sculpture figure with odds and ends from his scrap heap. The finished sculpture got the name "La femme à la clé (La Taulière)" ("Woman with a key"). Le Fournas, Vallauris 1953.

In his sculpture studio Le Fournas in Vallauris, 1953, Pablo Picasso stands in a contemplative pose. He looks down at a cylindrical object, one of many odds and ends gathered from a scrap heap that he would use to create the sculpture 'La femme à la clé' ('Woman with a key'). The active, lived-in workshop, with its rough plaster walls and a floor strewn with pottery and materials, is captured in a moment of quiet reflection before creation.
