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

Photographed by Quinn in 1972 for Georges Ramié's book, "Céramique de Pablo Picasso," this terracotta-colored vase by Picasso takes the form of a stylized owl. Resting on a circular stone pedestal, the owl's face is painted onto the flared neck, its bulbous body decorated with black bands and white dashes suggesting feathers. White strokes on the splayed foot depict talons. Strong sunlight from the right casts distinct shadows against a background of dark wood and light stone, highlighting the ceramic's form and painted details.
