In Vallauris, 1954, a young art student named Sylvette David stands with her fiancée, Toby Jellinek. That year, she was chosen by Pablo Picasso as a model for a series of paintings and drawings. Captured here in intimate conversation on a sun-dappled road, Sylvette smiles, her voluminous blonde hair styled in a high ponytail. She wears a dark top and a full gingham skirt, while Jellinek, smoking a cigarette, has his back mostly to the camera. A gnarled olive tree and a rustic stone wall evoke the Mediterranean setting.
