Majestic, monumental, and daring are all words that can describe this piece, both in terms of subject matter and aesthetic value. The lion has a serene, almost joyous expression with a whimsical nature, evoking a lighthearted and childlike sentiment. Its bold, contrasting color with black surface tonalities are interrupted by the red clay beneath, accenting Picasso's signature stroke and expressive detail. Created in December 1968 - January 1969, this ceramic square plaque is classified as an 'original print' (Ramie 281) made from red earthenware clay, printed with engobe pad. This work is hand numbered on the verso 12/200 and is stamped 'Empreinte Originale de Picasso' in addition to the 'Madoura Plein Feu' publisher's stamp. Catalogue Raisonné & COA:It is fully documented and referenced in (copies will be enclosed as added documentation with the invoices that I will enclose with the sale of the work) :1. Bloch, Georges. Pablo Picasso: Catalogue of the Printed Ceramics, Vol. III 1949 - 1971, Editions Kornfeld et Klipstein: Berne, 1972. Listed and illustrated as catalogue raisonné no. 212 on pg. 180.2. Ramié, Alain.

Picasso's Ceramics, Viking Press: New York, 1976. Listed and illustrated as catalogue raisonné no. 656 on pg. 270. About the Framing:This resplendent custom frame is the perfect, elegant compliment to this remarkable work. Framing begins with linen-wrapped wooden liners that securely hold the ceramic and allow visibility in the back (to view markings) . An elegant varnished gold leaf frame encases the wood liners to create a shadow-box affect against a black background. The delicate coloration of the wood moulding perfectly compliments the gentle texture and color within the clay. A heavy weight picture wire is also attached to the frame to ensure a secure hanging. Due to the size and weight of this piece, we recommend using a heavy duty double nail hook with 100-150 pound weight capacity (double the weight of the piece to determine hook capacity) .Style: 20th Century Modern Art, Modern Artist, Cubism, Cubist Who is Masterworks Fine Art?
