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.
Seated at his workbench in the Madoura pottery workshop in Vallauris, Pablo Picasso works on the first version of a ceramic plate depicting Irène Rignault, known as Madame X. Captured on October 14, 1953, during the filming of Luciano Emmer’s documentary "Pablo Picasso", the artist is seen in profile, concentrating on his craft. Wearing a dark sweater, he leans over the cluttered surface, surrounded by bowls of glaze and pots of brushes, all illuminated by a single hanging bulb in the rustic studio.
