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

Photographed by Edward Quinn in 1972 for Georges Ramié's book, "Céramique de Pablo Picasso," this high-contrast image captures a ceramic vase with an hourglass form resembling a female torso. Dramatically lit from the side, its curves are sharply defined against a dark background. A silhouetted female figure is painted or incised on its surface: her arms are raised on the flared top, while her hips and legs adorn the bulbous lower half. A delicate tree motif appears to the side, completing a composition that emphasizes the object's unique shape and texture.
