In 1954, the year she was chosen by Pablo Picasso as a model for a series of paintings, the young art student Sylvette David is pictured with her fiancée, Toby Jellinek, in Vallauris. With her blonde hair in a high ponytail, she gazes at the camera while Jellinek, bearded and wearing a dark ascot, looks thoughtfully aside. His hand rests on a slender, modern sculpture placed on the table between them.
