A young art student, Sylvette David, was chosen by Pablo Picasso as model in 1954 for a series of paintings and drawings. Vallauris 1954.

A young art student, Sylvette David, descends a steep stone alleyway in Vallauris, 1954, the year she was chosen by Pablo Picasso as a model for a series of paintings and drawings. With her hair in a high ponytail, she wears a full gingham skirt that billows with her movement. The strong sunlight creates stark contrasts and deep shadows on the weathered buildings, where laundry hangs from a line, capturing a candid scene of daily life.
