This ceramic is the second of the "vases with high handles" made by Picasso, of a larger size than the one made in 1952 (see Ramié 141).
This time, the background is black, as if the female figure was dressed in a dress and a scarf on her head. Her face is more expressive, more humane than the one in 1952. It is a woman of flesh and no longer a statue or a deity that is represented.
