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

At the Madoura pottery studio in Vallauris, Pablo Picasso presents a large, decorated ceramic plate to Françoise Gilot, 23 March 1953. Wearing a V-neck sweater, Picasso holds up the piece, looking directly at Gilot as if speaking. She, in a light-colored coat with a wide plaid lapel, gazes down at the plate with a warm, engaged smile. The rustic workshop is filled with shelves of ceramic items in various stages of creation, underscoring the candid and creative atmosphere of the moment.
