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.

Pablo Picasso works in his sculpture studio, Le Fournas, sifting through a large pile of scrap metal, wood, and other found objects on the floor. Dressed in a light-colored sweater and dark, cuffed trousers, he selects odds and ends to create the sculpture that would become "La femme à la clé (La Taulière)". The cluttered workshop is in a state of creative disarray, with a primitive wooden scooter, workbenches, and other sculptures in various stages of completion. Vallauris, 1953.
