Which painting by Magritte includes the text 'Ceci n'est pas une pipe'?

The Magritte painting containing the text “Ceci n’est pas une pipe” is The Treachery of Images.

Painted in 1929, The Treachery of Images shows a carefully rendered pipe above the French sentence “Ceci n’est pas une pipe,” meaning “This is not a pipe.” The statement is not a denial that the pictured object resembles a pipe; it points out that the painting is an image of a pipe rather than a usable pipe itself.

The work’s French title is La Trahison des Images, and it is also commonly called This Is Not a Pipe. Magritte used the contradiction between visual appearance, language, and physical reality to challenge the assumption that a word or picture is identical with the thing it represents.

The painting is often mixed up with The Human Condition, another Magritte work concerned with images and reality. The Lovers and The Son of Man are also famous Magritte paintings, but neither contains the iconic pipe-and-sentence pairing.
