Product Information
This exceptional work of ceramic art is a remarkable creation by the eminent Pablo Picasso. Titled “Profil De Femme No. 67 (A. R. 473),” it is an exquisite specimen from the 1963 limited edition series of 100, produced by the esteemed Madoura pottery in Vallauris, France. Crafted with the traditional terre de faïence (earthenware) technique, this ceramic plate is a testament to Picasso’s ever-evolving style and his penchant for the exploration of new mediums. The plate measures approximately 15 inches in diameter, serving as an ample canvas for Picasso’s distinctive and charismatic representation of a woman’s profile, one of his recurrent themes.
The profile on the plate is minimalist yet intricate, reflecting the complexity and fluidity of Picasso’s artistry. It captures a female’s profile, her face delineated with bold, geometric lines, hinting at the artist’s iconic Cubist style. Her elegant silhouette is contrasted against the cream-colored earthenware background, enhancing the depth of the artwork. Her facial features are artfully abstracted and simplified – the eye is a mere dash, her nose a gentle curve, her lips just two concise lines. These are classic Picasso – simplicity masking an undercurrent of profound sophistication and thought. The high-quality glazing that coats the plate gives the artwork a gentle sheen, adding an appealing aesthetic finish while protecting the design underneath. The piece is marked on the reverse side, indicating its limited edition number and validating its authenticity. This beautifully preserved “Profil De Femme No. 67 (A. R. 473)” is a unique object d’art, a piece that effortlessly merges the utilitarian nature of ceramic ware with Picasso’s illustrious artistic vision. It’s not just a piece of ceramic art, it’s a slice of history, embodying the prodigious talent and creative spirit of one of the 20th century’s most significant artists.
