Condition
Executed on the frontispiece of 'Les Quatre Petites Filles', a play by Pablo Picasso. The sheet is attached to the book and the front cover is folded back onto itself. The book is floating in the frame. The upper edge is deckled and there is a small paper loss to the centre of the right edge. There is some very minor rubbing along the left edge. Otherwise this work is in very good condition and the sheet remains fresh.
Colours: Overall fairly accurate, the white is very slightly warmer in the original.
