Lampe femme (Woman Lamp)

A striking example of Picasso's mastery in ceramic art, this white earthenware vase transforms the female form into a luminous vessel, blending figuration and function with playful ingenuity. Through vibrant painted colours and expressive knife engravings, Picasso animates the turned surface with bold, gestural lines that evoke the curves and features of a woman. The work exemplifies his lifelong fascination with mythological and feminine archetypes, reimagined here through the tactile, intimate medium of ceramics.
