In Vallauris, 1954, the young art student Sylvette David is pictured with her fiancée, Toby Jellinek. This was the year Pablo Picasso chose her as a model for a celebrated series of paintings. With her signature high ponytail, David smiles brightly towards the camera while holding a modern wire-frame object. Jellinek, wearing a light, open-collared shirt, appears pensive as he raises a cigarette to his mouth. The candid indoor scene is set against a wall adorned with traditionally framed paintings.
