A potter carrying some figures Pablo Picasso made in clay to the kiln. Outside Madoura pottery. Vallauris 1953.

In the sunlit courtyard of the Madoura pottery in Vallauris, 1953, a potter transports small clay figures by Pablo Picasso to the kiln. Seen from behind in light-colored trousers and white suspenders, they balance a long wooden plank on their shoulder. The rustic building, with its terracotta roof and vine-covered porch, forms the backdrop. To the left, a table is laden with unglazed vases, while to the right, a small white cat sits on the ground near a doorway, the bright sunlight casting sharp shadows across the unpaved ground.
