about Colombe sur Lit de Paille (Dove on a Straw Bed) (variant) (Ramie 79)
Pablo Picasso's rendering of a white dove on a black earthenware plate is a classic example of the artist's fascination with the bird.
Although prevalent throughout his work, this dove is unique for its location on a plate and its loosely-lined form with opaque white enamel comprising its figure against the jet-black dish. This example is a variant in design and is one of the earliest examples produced from this edition.
