Peter Langstraat, the owner of this exclusive collection, has personally met many acquaintances and and the son (Claude) of Pablo Picasso. His deep connections and passion for Picasso’s legacy ensure the authenticity and integrity of every piece in the gallery.
"Owning a Picasso ceramic is more than owning art; it’s holding history, innovation, and Picasso’s essence in your hands. Each piece tells a story—ready to become part of yours. It fits in any househould and brings joy!" — Peter Langstraat
Jean Cocteau (1889–1963), a renowned French artist and writer, created the ceramic piece titled "Faune Musicien" ("Musician Faun") in 1958. This work exemplifies Cocteau's distinctive linear style and his fascination with mythological themes.
The piece is a partially glazed white earthenware plate, measuring approximately 31 centimeters (12.2 inches) in diameter. It features a stylized depiction of a faun playing a musical instrument, rendered in colored engobe—a liquid clay slip used for decoration. The faun is portrayed in profile, capturing a sense of movement and musicality.
Each plate from this series is signed and dated "Jean Cocteau 1958" on the front. The reverse bears the inscription "Edition originale de Jean Cocteau, Atelier Madeline-Jolly," along with the edition number, indicating its authenticity and origin from the Madeline-Jolly workshop.
Cocteau's collaboration with the Madeline-Jolly workshop allowed him to explore the medium of ceramics, resulting in unique pieces that blend his artistic vision with traditional craftsmanship. The "Faune Musicien" plate is a testament to this fruitful partnership, showcasing Cocteau's ability to infuse classical mythology with modern artistic expression.

"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."
