abstract:Sylvette is the title of the portrait of a young woman with the pony tail painted by Pablo Picasso. The model for the painting was (Lydia) Sylvette David, also known by her married name Lydia Corbett, a French woman who worked in a pottery studio near Picasso's studio in Vallauris, in the summer of 1953.
Sylvette Lemagnen, curator of the tapestry, said she was "delighted" with the study, saying it is "fundamental to the understanding of the Bayeux Tapestry".
