Picasso working on first version of plate of a woman (Irène Rignault, Madame X), during filming of "Picasso", directed by Luciano Emmer. Madoura pottery, Vallauris Oct 14 1953.

Completely absorbed in his work at the Madoura pottery in Vallauris, Picasso is photographed in profile on October 14, 1953. He holds the first version of a large, round plate depicting Irène Rignault (Madame X), a moment captured during the filming of Luciano Emmer's documentary, "Picasso." Seated at a cluttered wooden workbench under the focused light of a single bare bulb, his intense concentration is palpable within the rustic, timeless workshop.
