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

Resting on a bed of smooth, grey pebbles, this handmade oval ceramic platter by Pablo Picasso features a stylized bullfight. Rendered in bold, black brushstrokes, the expressive scene depicts a charging bull, a mounted picador, and a standing figure on a pale blue-grey background. A wide, rustic rim in a terracotta-pink wash, adorned with simple dark blue daubs, frames the composition. Edward Quinn took this photograph in 1972 for Georges Ramié's book, *Céramique de Pablo Picasso* (1974).
