Melon Dish by Pablo Picasso. Black and white photograph of a ceramic bowl. The bowl has a wide, shallow body with a scalloped edge. The bowl's interior features a white background with small, dark-colored floral patterns. The exterior of the bowl has a wide base with a triangular pattern in dark color on a white background. The bowl appears to be sitting on a base or pedestal that matches the exterior pattern. The background of the image is light gray. The bowl casts a shadow to the right.
