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

In 1972, Edward Quinn photographed these two ornate ceramic vases by Pablo Picasso for Georges Ramié's book, "Céramique de Pablo Picasso" (1974). Resting on a weathered wooden plank, the dark, glossy vessels feature bulbous bodies and prominent handles. Both are decorated with bold, hand-painted white lines. A stylized female face with a decorative crown-like design adorns the neck of the left vase, while its companion on the right is embellished with abstract geometric patterns. The natural light highlights the pottery's form and finish against a dark, textured background.
