PABLO PICASSO | Tête

Estate of the artist

The ceramic is sound. There is a loss to the lower left corner, possibly inherent to the medium and there are some irregularities to the surface and edges, inherent to the character of the medium. There is a light layer of surface dirt. This work is in overall good condition.
