Fernand Léger ceramic Untitled, 1952; Reflecting Léger's interpretation of a red rooster, this bright and dynamic piece captivates our attention, and is best viewed in person for its rich glaze work and smooth contours. Léger scholar Yvonne Brunhammer wrote of Léger's ceramic sculpture: "Léger's ceramics are the tranquil assertion of the exuberance of life. Their healthy coloring, the weight of their flesh, their tactile qualities, their orderliness, the confidence that emanates from them, all that makes us see them as real objects d'art that have a beneficial utility in the time and space allotted us."

Created in 1952, this fantastic ceramic sculpture is from the very rare and limited edition of only eight. The piece is numbered 6/8 in black on the underside of the base. The work contains a guaranteed authentic signature by Léger, 'F. Leger' in black, on the side of the base. This work is in overall great condition-glaze remains bright and fresh with a few very insignificant chips to the glaze that does not interfere with the image or overall composition.
