The storerooms at Madoura pottery where Pablo Picasso keeps the originals.

In a storeroom at the Madoura pottery, Pablo Picasso squats amidst his original works. Dressed in a dark beret and jacket, he is deeply focused on a large, decorated ceramic plate he holds in his hands. The rustic space, with its rough, whitewashed walls, is filled with his creations: vases painted with faces, a stylized white owl, and tall, shield-like panels bearing abstract designs are scattered on the floor and lean against the walls.
