Picasso works on "La Pique" at the Madoura pottery in Vallauris. 23.3.53

Pablo Picasso sits in the cluttered Madoura pottery studio in Vallauris, looking directly at the camera with a piercing gaze. It is 23 March 1953, and a paintbrush rests in his hand. Before him on a rustic workbench is the square ceramic plate "La Pique," its painted bullfight scene and striped border clearly visible. The plate itself is marked with the day's date. The busy studio, with its tables laden with supplies and other ceramic forms, captures a candid moment in the artist's workspace.
