Claude Picasso has confirmed the authenticity of this work.

This beautiful terracotta tile is a mature and unique example of Picasso’s expression of freedom and happiness that he felt during the Post-War period.

Visage was previously in the Collection of Marina Picasso, the daughter of Picasso’s son, Paulo, who was born of the painter’s first marriage to the Russian ballet dancer, Olga Khokhlova.
