Note du spécialiste

This work is sold with a photo-certificate from Claude Picasso.

In March 1957, Pablo Picasso produced a series inspired by Ancient Greek imagery. On the glazed front of the plaque three male figures are engaged in a lively bacchanal scene: a standing man playing a double-flute, a dancer and a reclining wine-drinker. Full of this Dionysian enthusiasm of music, dance and wine.
