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

In Vallauris, 1954, Sylvette David, a young art student chosen by Pablo Picasso as a model, crouches on a paved patio with her fiancée, Toby Jellinek. With her hair styled in a high ponytail, David looks directly at the camera while Jellinek, opposite her, focuses his attention on a delicate wire-frame sculpture. The geometric model, standing between them, casts sharp linear shadows in the bright sunlight.
