Estate of the artist
Marina Picasso (the artist’s granddaughter; acquired from the above)

The ceramic is sound. There is some scattered crazing to the glazing. There is a small chip behind the face's proper left ear. There is some minor rubbing to the bottom and small chips to the bottom edge, as commensurate with age. This work is in good condition.
