Rider and Horse (Cavalier et cheval)
A spirited equestrian scene unfolds across the surface of this white earthenware pitcher, where Picasso's bold, gestural lines bring a rider and horse to vivid life through painted colors and knife engraving. The ceramic form itself becomes a canvas, with Picasso's signature cubist sensibility fragmenting and reimagining the figures in a dynamic, expressive composition. The interplay of brushed glaze and incised marks demonstrates the artist's masterful exploration of ceramics as a medium, blending sculptural and painterly techniques into a unified work of art.
