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 1954, the young art student Sylvette David, recently chosen by Pablo Picasso as a model, stands barefoot on a steep stone staircase in a narrow Vallauris alleyway. Positioned in a patch of sunlight, she wears a dark top and a light-colored skirt, her body turned slightly as she looks to the side. Strong light streams between the tall, shuttered buildings, illuminating hanging laundry and casting deep shadows across the worn steps. Further up the staircase, a small boy is seen walking away.
