Pablo Picasso working on first version of plate of a woman (Irène Rignault, Madame X), during filming of "Pablo Picasso", directed by Luciano Emmer. Madoura pottery, Vallauris 14.10.1953.

Pablo Picasso is captured in profile, working with deep concentration on the first version of a large, oval platter depicting Irène Rignault. At the Madoura pottery in Vallauris, he steadies the ceramic with one hand while the other, holding a lit cigarette, delicately applies the design to its glossy surface. This moment of quiet creativity was filmed for Luciano Emmer’s documentary, *Pablo Picasso*, on 14 October 1953.
