World-famous SPANISH artist, PABLO PICASSO, made the original ink drawing, from which this lithograph was made, in FRANCE in 1948.
The undated LITHOGRAPH itself was made in the 1960s and is a FIRST EDITION ARTIST'S PROOF, denoted by Picasso as "e. a." (Eprouve d'Artiste, in French, translating to Artist's Proof, in English).
HAND-SIGNED in GREY PENCIL CRAYON in the lower-right: Picasso, and marked in the lower-left by Picasso: e. a.
This is presumed to be a ONE-ONLY ARTIST'S PROOF signed and noted in grey crayon by Picasso to signal his approval in the press-room, before the print-run commenced. Hence, this ORIGINAL LITHOGRAPH is considered both UNIQUE and RARE.
The off-white paper-sheet measures: 15 1/8" x 11 1/4" (38.5 cm x 28.5 cm).
Blank on the verso and currently unframed.
In GOOD CONDITION with just a little edge-wear and corner-wear to the paper edges, NOT affecting the printed ink area. A few light abrasions on the verso, NOT affecting the picture-side.
A RARE and highly-desirable MID-20th CENTURY, HAND-SIGNED, ORIGINAL FIRST EDITION LITHOGRAPH.
