Catalogue Note
A partir de 1908, Van Dongen travaille avec le céramiste André Metthey avec lequel collaborent également d'autres artistes fauves tels que Matisse, Valtat, Vlaminck, Derain et Othon Friesz. Pour Van Dongen, la céramique est un nouveau support qu'il exploite en reprenant des sujets qu'il a déjà traités sur la toile. De cette collaboration naissent plusieurs assiettes et vases dont plusieurs sont exposées dès novembre 1908 à la galerie Bernheim-Jeune.
