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

In Vallauris, 1954, the young art student Sylvette David, who modeled for a series of works by Pablo Picasso, kneels on a paved terrace with her fiancée, Toby Jellinek. Barefoot, with her hair in a signature high ponytail, she gazes at a miniature wireframe sculpture on the ground. Jellinek squats beside her, gesturing toward the small object. David wears a dark, off-the-shoulder top and a checkered gingham skirt, while Jellinek is dressed in a light-colored shirt and a dark cravat. The scene is framed between two large pillars on a sunny day.
