Magnificent print depicting Picasso, in profile, contemplating his latest ceramic plate creation in the Madoura workshop, in Vallauris.

During the summer of 1946, Picasso visited an exhibition in Vallauris and was captivated by the work of Georges and Suzanne Ramié, owners of the Madoura pottery workshop. Returning to Vallauris the following year, the artist immersed himself with a consuming passion in creating ceramics. He would go on to produce approximately 4,500 pieces.
