At the Madoura pottery in Vallauris, Pablo Picasso is captured in profile, deeply engrossed in his work on 14 October 1953. Seated on a stool and illuminated by a single bare bulb, he leans over a cluttered workbench to decorate the first version of a ceramic plate depicting Irène Rignault (Madame X). The scene was recorded during the filming of Luciano Emmer’s documentary, "Pablo Picasso."
