Pablo Picasso with some of the ceramic figures he made in clay, before they are put in the kiln. With him is Suzanne Ramié of the Madoura pottery. Suzanne is wearing a pendant by Pablo Picasso. Outside Madoura pottery, Vallauris 1953.

In the gravel courtyard of the Madoura pottery in Vallauris, 1953, Pablo Picasso inspects a collection of his small clay animal figures before they are fired. Dressed in a dark shirt and wide-legged corduroys, he leans over a wooden sawhorse table and points at the unglazed pieces. Suzanne Ramié of Madoura, wearing a white smock and a pendant made for her by the artist, looks on attentively. Nearby, larger, stylized owl sculptures rest on another table, with the rustic two-story workshop building providing the backdrop.
