Medium: A four-color lithograph printed using blue, green/yellow, violet/pink, and black ink. Picasso drew the composition using lithographic crayons on transparent transfer paper before it was moved onto the printing stone.Printing House: It was printed by the renowned master printmaker Fernand Mourlot in Paris, who collaborated extensively with Picasso to revolutionize color lithography in the mid-20th century. Catalog References: The print is well-documented in definitive reference books of Picasso's graphic work, listed as Bloch 763 and Mourlot 261.Edition Details: The primary rare edition was tightly limited to just 50 signed and numbered pencil copies, alongside 5 artist proofs.Description and StyleThe artwork showcases a characteristically minimalist yet playful mid-century modern aesthetic. It features a stylized profile of a nude female form standing next to a simple black dining chair on a grid-patterned floor line. Rather than sticking to traditional anatomy, Picasso fragments the figure with overlapping colored shapes—juxtaposing a primary yellow silhouette against a shadow-like blue backing, topped with vibrant pink hair.
