Pablo Picasso
1881 - 1973
Face in an oval. 1955.
Ceramics. White sherd with engobe and scratch decor under glazing.

PROVENANCE: Private collection North Rhine-Westphalia.

LITERATURE: Alain Ramié, Picasso. Catalogue of the edited ceramic works 1947-1971, Vallauris 1988, CR no. 275 (illu. in color, different copy).
