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

In Vallauris, 1954, the young art student Sylvette David, then a model for a series of works by Pablo Picasso, leans out of a window. Captured from a high angle, she looks directly up at the camera with an intense expression, her blonde hair swept into a high ponytail. Her hand rests on an open, louvered shutter, creating a stark contrast between the sunlit, textured wall outside and the deep shadow of the room behind her.
