Pablo Picasso working on first version of plate of a woman (Irène Rignault, Madame X), during filming of "Pablo Picasso", directed by Luciano Emmer. Madoura pottery, Vallauris 14.10.1953.

Pablo Picasso at the Madoura pottery in Vallauris, 14 October 1953. Captured during the filming of Luciano Emmer’s documentary on the artist, he is deeply engrossed in his work. He leans over an oval ceramic platter, etching the first version of a plate depicting Irène Rignault (Madame X). Illuminated by a large lamp, his right hand holds the tool while his left hovers near the surface, a lit cigarette between his fingers, a wisp of smoke rising in the focused atmosphere of the studio.
