It has already been remarked that, for a period which may be said to begin in 1906, Picasso was constantly torn between the postulates of the Greek tradition and his own experimental results achieved through the overpowering need to find a newer and more current pictorial language, which can be traced as far back as 1907.
This still life, whose inspiration and linear and chromatic execution are similar to those of The Lamp of the same year, is conceived like medieval stained-glass, both because of the marked partition of the colours, through which the sun shines from behind the canvas, and because of the enclosing of the coloured segments that clearly recalls the strips of lead by which the stained-glass tesserae are kept in place. The power of the image he presents becomes suggestive because its elements are rhythmically composed and the immediacy of his lyric inspiration is self-evident. As always in Picasso's work the main features are the poetic intensity, the total surrender to the creative action, and the harmonious apprehension by which the mind of the artist is sustained in his moments of authentic ecstasy. less
