A member of the film team of Luciano Emmer. 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 is observed by a member of Luciano Emmer's film team during a visit to Vallauris in 1953. With arms crossed, the artist stands amidst the creative clutter of his workshop, a rustic space with rough walls and exposed beams. It was here that he assembled figures from his scrap heap, including the sculpture that became known as “La femme à la clé (La Taulière)” or “Woman with a key.”
