Pablo Picasso emerges from his rustic sculpture studio, Le Fournas, in Vallauris, 1953. He scans the ground for a branch to add to the figure visible just inside the doorway, a work he is assembling from his scrap heap. The sculpture would become “La femme à la clé (La Taulière)” after this branch was ultimately replaced by a key.
