Remarkable fine art poster after Pablo Picasso’s famous 1917 masterpiece Woman in a Mantilla (La Salchichona / Mujer con mantilla), created during his return to Barcelona with the Ballets Russes. In this rare composition, Picasso combines traditional Spanish portraiture with a unique pointillist and divisionist technique, contrasting the highly detailed, realistic facial features and delicate black lace mantilla against an unfinished background with vibrant, textured dots of gold, teal, and red. Features the printed signature "Henri Marseille" (the pseudonym associated with this specific print series) in the lower right corner.
