INFORMATION: Magritte's engraved works consist of only about twenty pieces, of which only six were created directly by Magritte and are considered original. 'Les Bijoux Indiscrets' is the first original lithograph created by Magritte; it was published by San Lazzaro in 1963. This type of original work, created by the artist and published during his lifetime, should not be confused with later editions, which are interpretative lithographs authorized by the Magritte Estate upon payment of reproduction rights.

Very good condition: some minor scattered rust spots.
