Pablo Picasso working in his sculpture studio Le Fournas making a sculpture figure with odds and ends from his scrap heap. Here he is collecting a branch to ad to the sculpture.

Pablo Picasso enters his rustic sculpture studio, Le Fournas, in Vallauris, 1953. He carries a leafy branch collected from his scrap heap, an early component for a figure he is assembling from odds and ends. Picasso would later replace this branch with a key, giving the finished sculpture its name, "La femme à la clé (The Woman with a Key)." Strong sunlight contrasts the building's rough, sunlit walls with the dark interior and the overgrown path leading to the entrance.
