Pablo Picasso

Estate of the artist
Marina Picasso (the artist’s granddaughter; acquired from the above)

The work is in very good condition. Executed on the reverse of a cream colored Theatre de la cite invitation. The sheet has two horizontal perforations running across the center of the composition which are intrinsic to the invitation. There is some separation of the sheet along the lower perforation, at the right and left edges (one is 1/2 inch and one is 1/4 inch in length). The ink from the printed invitation is partially visible on the recto. There is a minor wave to the paper.
