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 a rustic Vallauris workshop, Sylvette David, a young art student who modeled for Pablo Picasso in 1954, observes her fiancée, Toby Jellinek. With her hair in a high ponytail, she leans against a gas cylinder, holding a lit cigarette. Jellinek, wearing protective goggles, concentrates on his work, a torch emitting a bright flash of sparks as he welds a metal object held in a vise.
