Picador (A.R. 289) is a ceramic plaque by Pablo Picasso, produced in 1956 at the Madoura pottery workshop in Vallauris, France. Executed in glazed earthenware, the work depicts the picador—an enduring figure in Picasso’s imagery—rendered with bold line work and rhythmic surface decoration. The piece was issued in a numbered edition of approximately 200 examples, consistent with Madoura’s mid-1950s ceramic productions. Created in southern France, Picador reflects Picasso’s lifelong engagement with Spanish cultural motifs translated through the medium of ceramics.
