Service visage noir (Black Face Service): plate J
A white earthenware plate by Pablo Picasso, featuring a boldly rendered face in striking black against the glazed surface, exemplifying his signature approach to abstraction and figuration. The ceramic work demonstrates Picasso's playful yet powerful exploration of the human visage, reducing facial features to expressive, geometric forms. Part of a larger ceramic series, this piece reflects his deep engagement with the medium during his later years in Vallauris, France.
