Pablo Picasso — Woman Lamp (Lampe femme)
Pablo Picasso

Woman Lamp (Lampe femme)

A masterful example of Picasso's ceramics work, *Woman Lamp (Lampe femme)* transforms a simple white earthenware vase into a dynamic figurative composition through the artist's signature bold use of color and line. Picasso's distinctive knife engraving technique carves expressive contours into the surface, merging the organic form of the turned vessel with the abstracted image of a female figure. The glazed interior contrasts with the richly painted exterior, reflecting Picasso's playful ability to blur the boundaries between fine art and functional craft.

Medium
White earthenware turned vase, painted in colors, with knife engraving and glazed on the interior.
