At the Madoura pottery in Vallauris, Pablo Picasso gestures toward a ceramic platter held by Italian film director Luciano Emmer. The two are captured on 14 October 1953, during the filming of Emmer’s documentary, "Pablo Picasso." Emmer, dressed in a knit sweater and scarf, intently examines the oval-shaped piece, which is the first version of a plate depicting Irène Rignault. The date itself, "14.10.53.", is visible near the top edge of the artwork.
