Pablo Picasso Tête de chèvre de profil (Goat's Head in Profile), 1952 is a rounded ceramic plate decorated with the charming head of a goat. The goat's features are delineated and divided by sections of solid black, gray, and creamy white. Abstract details in muted blue and yellow fill the empty space, while the green outline along the rim of the dish emphasizes the goat head as the central subject. Springing from below the goat's chin and along the ridge of its snout is a series of lines that indicate stray strands of fur. An expressive eye and a slightly upturned line for a mouth lend this goat a playful and mischievous demeanor. Picasso created a number of ceramics with goat heads, and this variation offers another elegant example of the artist's ability to re-imagine everyday subjects.
