Face (Visage)

A white earthenware turned jug by Pablo Picasso, "Face (Visage)" showcases the artist's bold exploration of ceramics as a medium for artistic expression. The jug's surface is animated with a painted face rendered in Picasso's signature cubist style, using vivid colors that contrast against the white earthenware body. The glazed interior speaks to the work's functional origins, while the painted exterior transforms the everyday vessel into a striking work of art.

Medium
White earthenware turned jug, painted in colors, with glaze on the inside.
