Deeply focused, Pablo Picasso works on the tiled floor of his sculpture studio, Le Fournas, in Vallauris, 1953. Dressed in a white knit sweater, he bends over a long, curved form propped on bricks. Using odds and ends from his scrap heap, he assembles the figure that would become the sculpture "La femme à la clé" (Woman with a key).
