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

Photographed in 1972 for the book "Céramique de Pablo Picasso," this overhead shot captures one of the artist's white ceramic plates on a dark, textured surface. The plate features a minimalist, sculpted face in bas-relief. A simple vertical ridge forms the nose, flanked by horizontal ovals for closed eyes, while raised dots suggest eyebrows and a smiling mouth. Short, leaf-like rays adorn the upper rim, reminiscent of a sun. Direct light from the upper left casts a pronounced shadow, emphasizing the three-dimensional quality of the sculpted face.
