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 works on the first version of a plate depicting Irène Rignault (Madame X) at the Madoura pottery in Vallauris, 14 October 1953. Photographed over the shoulder during the filming of Luciano Emmer’s “Pablo Picasso,” the artist’s hands carefully apply a white line drawing onto the large, dark ceramic platter. While the photo was taken on the 14th, the date “15.10.53.” is inscribed along the rim of the piece. The cluttered workbench and soft light create an atmosphere of intimate, focused creativity.
