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

A handcrafted ceramic platter by Pablo Picasso, photographed by Edward Quinn in 1972 for Georges Ramié's book, "Céramique de Pablo Picasso." The oval-shaped piece is displayed outdoors, nestled in dark grass. In its off-white center is a stylized bird with a black head and a green and blue body. The wide rim is painted with washy, purplish-blue strokes. Dramatic lighting spotlights the platter against a dark, natural background of tangled branches, casting the surroundings into deep shadow.
