拍品資料及來源

The present work combines two dominant themes of Picasso's artistic ouevre: his obsessive re-imagining of the still-life format and the three-dimensional malleability of working in clay. The spherical shape of the present work is very rare for Picasso's unique ceramics and stands as testament to his understanding of perspective.

Claude Picasso has confirmed the authenticity of this work.
