Exercise caution when purchasing Picasso ceramics from non-specialist art dealers or platforms such as eBay. Numerous forgeries of Picasso editions are in circulation. Therefore, only purchase from reputable parties who possess the expertise to issue a certificate of authenticity, like La Galloise Art.
The Picasso ceramic numbered A.R. 86, titled "Four Enlaced Profiles," is a round/square plate of O.P. white earthenware clay, conceived and executed in 1949 at the famed Madoura pottery studio in Vallauris, France. This piece exemplifies Picasso's enduring fascination with the human face and the possibilities of the cubist profile, a motif he explored throughout his artistic career in painting, drawing, sculpture, and ceramics.
Measuring approximately 27 cm (10.6 inches) in diameter, the plate displays a composition of four interlaced facial profiles, created through the application of coloured engobe under glaze on a white ceramic surface. The composition balances complexity with graphic clarity: the overlapping lines of the profiles form a dense, rhythmic pattern in black and green, with the individual faces merging into one cohesive whole. The piece demonstrates Picasso's ability to unite multiple perspectives and facial features simultaneously within a single, dynamic plane.
"Four Enlaced Profiles" was produced in an extremely limited edition of just 25 copies, making it one of the rarer works within Picasso's ceramic oeuvre. The plate bears the markings "B.1, 2, Va", confirming its provenance and authenticity.
This ceramic plate reflects Picasso's unique ability to merge artistic invention with functional form, making a decorative object that is both visually compelling and emblematic of his creative legacy in twentieth-century ceramics.

"But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances accepted. The wise man therefore always."
"It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humor, or non-characteristic words , etc."
"The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form."
"Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more."
