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 for Georges Ramié's book *Céramique de Pablo Picasso*, this oblong ceramic plate by Picasso rests on a bed of sand and small rocks. Its glossy, dark glaze provides a dramatic background for a stylized bullfighting scene rendered in thick white lines with terracotta accents. The central action depicts a picador on horseback confronting a bull, surrounded by other figures. The rim is decorated with white arches, reminiscent of a bullring, and a pattern of dots and dashes.
