A young art student, Sylvette David, was chosen by Pablo Picasso as model in 1954. for a series of paintings and drawings. Vallauris 1954.

In Vallauris, 1954, young art student Sylvette David leans from a window, her blonde hair in a high ponytail. She directs an intense gaze at the camera, one hand resting on a dark louvered shutter, framed by the contrast of a shadowed interior and a sunlit wall. That year, David became the model for a significant series of paintings and drawings by Pablo Picasso.
