Losange au barbu (A.R. 628) is a ceramic plaque by Pablo Picasso, produced circa 1966 at the Madoura pottery workshop in Vallauris, France. Executed in glazed earthenware in a diamond-shaped (losange) format, the work presents a stylized bearded figure rendered with bold line work and graphic economy. The piece was issued in a numbered edition of approximately 500 examples, consistent with Madoura’s late-period ceramic productions. Created in southern France, Losange au barbu reflects Picasso’s continued experimentation with format and portrait imagery in the final years of his ceramic practice.
