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 a rustic studio in Vallauris, art student Sylvette David watches her fiancée, Toby Jellinek, at work in 1954. David, who served as a model for a series of works by Pablo Picasso that same year, observes with quiet concentration, a cigarette held between her fingers. Jellinek, wearing protective goggles over his eyeglasses, is absorbed in welding a large metal coil. The intense flare from his torch starkly illuminates the industrial setting, casting a glow on the couple and the abstract sculptures that adorn the unfinished walls.
