In front of Le Fournas in Vallauris, 1953, Rosa (Rosita) Hugué, left, and Madame Paule de Lazerme display ceramics by Pablo Picasso. Hugué smiles warmly, holding two small birds, while de Lazerme, wearing an elaborate necklace, cradles two more. To their right, a young man holds a ceramic owl, or *chouette*. From the dark doorway behind them, the artist himself, clad in a patterned sweater, looks on.
