In his cluttered sculpture studio, Le Fournas, Pablo Picasso is bent over a long, cylindrical object resting on rollers on the tiled floor. He assembles a figure from odds and ends gathered from his scrap heap, a work that will become the sculpture "La femme à la clé (La Taulière)". The workspace is filled with tools, ceramic pots, and other sculptures, with a large kiln visible in the background among finished and unfinished pieces. Vallauris, 1953.
