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"). Le Fournas, Vallauris 1953.

In his sculpture studio Le Fournas, Pablo Picasso assembles a figure from odds and ends gathered from his scrap heap. The rustic Vallauris workspace, seen here in 1953, is cluttered with tools, raw materials, and a large kiln. At the center, the work in progress—a white head with an elaborate headdress on a wooden A-frame stand—is taking shape. The finished sculpture would later be titled "La femme à la clé (La Taulière)" ("Woman with a key").
