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 in Vallauris, a deeply focused Pablo Picasso works in profile at a rustic workbench, 14 October 1953. Dressed in a dark shirt and corduroy trousers, he is decorating the first version of a ceramic plate depicting Irène Rignault (Madame X). The scene was captured during filming for Luciano Emmer’s documentary, "Pablo Picasso". The workshop is simply lit by a bare bulb, its light falling on the cluttered tools of his craft. Above his head, a wooden shelf bears the name "CLAUDE".
