Pablo Picasso

Lithograph, 1949, numbered 16/75 in pencil, on Arches wove paper, with full margins; together with PROFIL ET TETE DE FEMME (B. 101; cf. C. Bks. 19), etching, 1931, from Les Metamorphoses, with the remarque, aside from the total edition of 145, on Japan paper, with full margins, generally in good condition except the first with significant light-stain, slight scattered foxing, the verso with remains of adhesive and associated minor skinning at the sheet edges, framed (2 prints)

Jeune Femme: The print is generally in good condition as catalogued. Exposure to light has significantly darkened the paper tone, with inconsistent darkening at the sheet edges due to hinges on the verso, and very white areas in the upper margin and along the lower plate edge. Tiny dark fox marks are visible in the marigns and on the verso. Remains of adhesive and associated skinning visible on the verso at the sheet edges and corners. Profil et tete de femme: Pale light-stain appears in a window around the image. The margins have minor surface soiling.
