FROM THE BARNES FOUNDATION’S CATALOG
Picasso presents an egg cup on a saucer and vertically stacked cigars, arranged on the marble surface of what may be a café table. Colorful geometric shapes interpenetrate these items: a pink triangle, a blue oval, a purple-and-aqua teardrop, and a dark, shadowy form. The still life dates to Picasso's Crystal Period, in which he produced gemlike paintings amid the "return to order" that followed the chaos of World War I.
