"Le taureau" (1949-50) and "Femme aux bras croisées (Françoise Gilot)" (1950) on a shelf at Pablo Picasso’s sculpture studio Le Fournas, Vallauris 1953.

At Pablo Picasso’s sculpture studio Le Fournas in Vallauris, 1953, two works rest on a simple shelf. The large, light-colored sculpture "Le taureau" (1949-50), with its heavily textured surface, stands in profile. To its right is the slender, dark statuette "Femme aux bras croisées" (1950), a stylized depiction of Françoise Gilot with her arms crossed over her chest. A small glass bottle is placed between them, with a dark pitcher partially visible to the left.
