Pablo Picasso working in his sculpture studio Le Fournas making a sculpture figure with odds and ends from his scrap heap. The finished sculpture got the name "La femme à la clé (La Taulière)" ("Woman with a key"). Le Fournas, Vallauris 1953.

In his sculpture studio, Le Fournas, in Vallauris, Pablo Picasso concentrates on a large, curved piece of wood held in both hands. It is 1953, and the artist is assembling the sculpture "La femme à la clé (La Taulière)" from odds and ends gathered from his scrap heap. The cluttered, rustic space, with its whitewashed walls and exposed beams, is filled with other works, tools, and raw materials, including a classical plaster head on a modeling stand and a large metal stove, creating an atmosphere of active creativity.
