This striking exhibition print comes from Picasso’s Portraits Imaginaires series, dated 27 April 1969. It features a commanding figure rendered in sweeping black and brown strokes, anchored by a luminous chest of yellow and fiery red. Accents of purple and blue provide contrast, giving the image a theatrical, almost regal presence.

Historical Charm:
In 1969, approaching his 90th year, Pablo Picasso created the Portraits Imaginaires, a suite of 29 bold, whimsical portraits produced in collaboration with master printer Marcel Salinas. Each lithograph portrays an imaginary character — blending caricature, nobility, and fantasy — through expressive lines and daring colors. These works stand as a testament to Picasso’s relentless creativity in his final decade, capturing both humor and intensity. Today, they remain some of his most sought-after late-career creations.

Print & Paper Quality:
The colors remain vivid, with the reds, yellows, and purples robust and well-preserved. Printed on quality poster stock, the image retains excellent clarity and detail.

Condition:
Good vintage condition. Some light edge and corner wear is present, but the central image is clean and unaffected. The print displays beautifully when framed.
