This glass vitrine, photographed in the dining room at Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie after Pablo Picasso’s death in 1974, was once "Le musée" of his Paris studio at the Grands-Augustins. The two-tiered cabinet displays an eclectic collection of sculptures against a peach-colored backing. Among the pieces on the top shelf are a painted cutout figure and a textured bull, while the burgundy-lined lower shelf holds numerous smaller objects in bronze, stone, and wood, including busts and zoomorphic forms.
