A young art student, Sylvette David, was chosen by Pablo Picasso as model in 1954 for a series of paintings and drawings. Vallauris 1954.

In a sunlit Vallauris alley, Sylvette David stands barefoot on a steep flight of stone steps. In 1954, the young art student was chosen by Pablo Picasso as a model for a series of paintings and drawings. Her figure, illuminated in a dark top and light skirt, creates a stark contrast with the deep shadows cast by the tall, weathered buildings flanking the narrow street.
