In the rustic, brick-paved setting of his sculpture studio Le Fournas, Pablo Picasso assembles a figure from odds and ends found on his scrap heap. A large, curved piece of concrete forms the torso, a T-shaped object the shoulders, and a clamp the head. The artist would later replace the branch-like limb with a key, completing the work that became known as "La femme à la clé (La Taulière)". Vallauris, 1953.
