During the filming of a production directed by Luciano Emmer, Pablo Picasso is captured at work in his sculpture studio, Le Fournas, in 1953. A crew member presents a clapperboard for the silent shot while the artist, tool in hand and with a focused expression, assembles a figure from his scrap heap. This sculpture, seen in progress amidst the creative clutter of the Vallauris workshop, would be titled "La femme à la clé" ("Woman with a key").
