Description
- Pablo Picasso
- Deux chouettes
- inscribed Vallauris, dated 5.8.50 and numbered III
- painted ceramic; straight-sided pignate (cooking vessel)
- height: 18.5cm., 7 1/4 in.
Condition
There are some small scattered surface losses to the exterior and interior where imperfections in the clay cooking vessel have been repelled over time, and which are inherent to the material of the support. There is an associated crack underneath one of the handles, to the left of the date. These losses could be consolidated to prevent further deterioration. This work is in overall good condition.
