Original lithograph on Arches paper after Pablo Picasso. From the portfolio Portraits Imaginaire (Imaginary Portraits). This series was one of the last major lithographic projects Picasso authorized, making it highly collectible. It is part of the Portraits Imaginaires, which holds a significant place in Picasso’s late career.

In January 1969, at the age of 87, Picasso received a shipment of painting supplies packed with sheets of brown corrugated cardboard. Inspired by these 'blank canvases' Picasso set about painting a series of imaginary portraits over the next four months in simple brilliant colours.

Interested in having these works interpreted through another medium Picasso contacted the renowned lithographer Marcel Salinas; there followed a year of close collaboration culminating in this suite of twenty nine lithographs. Picasso supervised the project closely printing only taking place when each proof had received his 'bon à tirer' (good to pull).

Each print is hand numbered. This lithograph is numbered 78 / 250

Damages : There is a minor tear at the top left corner; however, no part of the artwork is missing, and the integrity of the piece remains intact.

Shipping Method : The lithograph will be securely rolled and shipped in a sturdy protective tube via DHL Express. It will be packaged with utmost care to ensure safe transit and to preserve the artwork’s condition.
