Ceramic photographed 1972 by Quinn for the book: Ramié, Georges. "Céramique de Pablo Picasso", Cercle d'art, Paris 1974.

Photographed by Edward Quinn in 1972, this oval ceramic platter by Pablo Picasso rests on a bed of smooth, dark pebbles. Its yellow-ochre border is decorated with thick, vertical, dark brown stripes. The central off-white area depicts a mythological battle between two centaur-like figures, one with a bull's head. Rendered in a fluid style reminiscent of ancient vase art, they rear up on their hind legs with spears crossed in combat. Quinn made this photograph for Georges Ramié's book, *Céramique de Pablo Picasso* (1974).
