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

A tall, totemic ceramic by Pablo Picasso, rendered in reddish-brown earthenware, is set against a solid black background. The sculpture's stacked form has a precarious sense of balance, its entire surface adorned with bold, abstract patterns in a dark pigment that follow the vessel’s contours. Side lighting accentuates its three-dimensional form and textured surface. Edward Quinn photographed this piece in 1972 for Georges Ramié's book *Céramique de Pablo Picasso*, published in 1974.
