Pablo Picasso and Françoise Gilot at the entrance of the Madoura pottery. Vallauris 23.3.1953.

Pablo Picasso, carrying a small can and a brush, steps from the bright sunlight into the Madoura pottery studio in Vallauris on 23 March 1953. He is met by Françoise Gilot, who stands in profile just inside the threshold, wearing a long coat with her hands in her pockets. The strong backlighting casts the rustic interior in shadow, where rough-hewn shelves are laden with unfired ceramics, and a hazy, sunlit hillside is visible through the open doorway.
