Vaious images of Françoise Gilot. Le Fournas, Vallauris 1953.

In a studio at Le Fournas, Vallauris, in 1953, two Cubist-style portraits of Françoise Gilot form the central focus. Both canvases are bust-length, with distorted facial features combining frontal and profile views. The portrait on the left, dated "28.4.53" in its upper corner, is set against a light background. The one on the right places Gilot against a much darker, high-contrast ground. The space is cluttered with other artworks, including a small, painted tile with a stylized face in the foreground and a piece showing a starkly outlined hand in the background.
