Pablo Picasso moves through his cluttered sculpture studio, Le Fournas, in Vallauris, 1953. Dressed in a light sweater and dark trousers, the artist focuses on a new work assembled from odds and ends from his scrap heap. He adds a branch to the figure, an element he would later replace with a key to complete the sculpture known as "La femme à la clé (La Taulière)". The workshop is filled with sculptures, tools, and creative debris scattered across the tiled floor.
