Pablo Picasso with Madame Paule de Lazerme (she had an affair with Pablo Picasso for some months) who wears a necklace designed by Pablo Picasso, made with the help of the Vallauris dentist Dr. Chataignier. In front of the studio Le Fournas, Vallauris 1953.

In a candid moment outside the Le Fournas studio in Vallauris, 1953, Pablo Picasso speaks with Madame Paule de Lazerme. The artist, dressed in a textured knit sweater, gestures with a lit cigarette. De Lazerme smiles warmly, her attire highlighted by an ornate statement necklace—a piece Picasso designed for her and had crafted with the assistance of a local dentist, Dr. Chataignier. Their interaction appears relaxed and intimate.
