Sylvette David, a young art student chosen by Pablo Picasso as a model in 1954, is photographed in Vallauris. With her blonde hair in a high ponytail, she sits indoors and presents a detailed pencil self-portrait. She wears a dark, scoop-neck top and a gingham-patterned skirt, with a chunky necklace. In front of her, on a floral-patterned surface, rests a small ashtray and another stylized drawing of a mythical creature. The black and white photograph is illuminated by a soft, natural light.
