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.

Sylvette David, the young art student chosen by Pablo Picasso as a model in 1954, is captured with her fiancée, Toby Jellinek, in Vallauris. Framed by a shaded archway, David stands with her eyes closed and face tilted upwards, her hands resting against a weathered stone wall. Jellinek, in a light shirt and neckerchief, stands just behind with his hand on her shoulder, looking into the distance. The high-contrast lighting highlights the subjects against the brightly lit landscape in the background, creating a feeling of quiet intimacy.
