In the rustic setting of his studio, Le Fournas, in Vallauris, Pablo Picasso works on his plaster sculpture "La femme enceinte" in 1953. Seen in profile, the artist is bundled in a heavy coat and a furry winter hat, a necessity as heating was minimized to prevent the sculptures from drying too quickly. His hands are concentrated on the midsection of the life-sized, rounded figure, whose rough, unfinished texture is highlighted by soft light. A background of exposed beams and neatly stacked firewood completes the scene.
