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"). Vallauris 1953.

In his sculpture studio, Le Fournas, Pablo Picasso contemplates two cylindrical objects, components for a new figure assembled from odds and ends. The rustic Vallauris workshop, seen here in 1953, is filled with creative clutter: an assemblage sculpture to his left, a plaster head to his right, and scrap material scattered across the floor. The finished work born from this process would be titled "La femme à la clé (La Taulière)".
