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

In a rustic workshop in Vallauris, Sylvette David watches her fiancé, Toby Jellinek, at work in 1954. A young art student who modeled for a series of paintings by Pablo Picasso that same year, David leans casually against a gas cylinder, a cigarette in hand. She observes Jellinek, who, wearing protective goggles, is intently focused on welding a coiled metal sculpture clamped in a vise. His torch emits a brilliant burst of light and sparks, illuminating the artist's studio.
