+ OVERVIEW
"Grande Tête De Femme Au Chapeau Orné" represents Picasso's most important relationships at the time, namely his artistic partnership with the Ramiés and his romance with Jacqueline Roque. Composed of a simple linear carved design in an earth tone clay plaque, Picasso takes advantage of the natural earth tones of clay to create a warm, nuanced work with contrasting black engobe. Created in 1964, this red earthenware clay big rectangular plaque printed with an engobe pad is from the edition of 50, also being the biggest pottery painting by Picasso.
