Lot Essay

“Colours, like features, follow the changes of the emotions” –Pablo Picasso
Lot 34 has one of the most varied surface from throughout Picasso’s ceramic oeuvre, this present work employs outstanding, colourful decoration and mark-making to the surface, articulating a figure with large, bright eyes and a long, strident nose. This example was conceived at the peak of Picasso’s understanding of the medium after much experimentation and is in the finest condition.
