Pablo Picasso working on first version of plate of a woman (Irène Rignault, Madame X), during filming of "Pablo Picasso", directed by Luciano Emmer. Madoura pottery, Vallauris 14.10.1953.
At the Madoura pottery workshop in Vallauris on 14 October 1953, Pablo Picasso leans forward in concentration, working on the first version of a ceramic plate depicting Irène Rignault (Madame X). A wisp of smoke rises from the piece under a bare lightbulb. The partial view of a camera on a tripod in the foreground reveals the scene is being filmed for Luciano Emmer's documentary, "Pablo Picasso."
