Pablo Picasso, seen in profile, intently scrapes the surface of a clay platter, incising a stylized face. He is at the Madoura pottery in Vallauris, seated at a rustic workbench illuminated by a bare bulb and diffused window light. The scene of quiet, focused craftsmanship was captured on 14 October 1953, during the making of the film "Pablo Picasso," with its director, Luciano Emmer, observing from the left.
