Pablo Picasso blows off surplus clay dust before applying the liquid colors. Madoura pottery, Vallauris 14.10.1953.

In the rustic Madoura pottery studio in Vallauris, Pablo Picasso is captured in profile, engrossed in his craft. He brings a large, round platter close to his face, blowing off surplus clay dust before applying liquid colors. His cluttered workbench is scattered with brushes and bowls of pigment, illuminated by a single hanging bulb and a strong backlight from a sunlit window. 14 October 1953.
