Construction of a metal model of Château de Vauvenargues. Gift of Teto Ahrenberg to Pablo Picasso on the occasion of the visit of the Ahrenberg family to La Californie 1959.
In a workshop, a craftsman in a dark sweater leans over a heavy-duty vise, his brow furrowed in concentration. He meticulously files a metal component for an intricate model of the Château de Vauvenargues. The sculpture was commissioned by collector Teto Ahrenberg as a gift for Pablo Picasso, presented to the artist in 1959 during the Ahrenberg family’s visit to his villa, La Californie.
