PABLO PICASSO | Visage de profil

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

Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, and hinged to the mount at the upper two corners. There is an artist's pinhole to the upper left corner. There is a slight undulation to the sheet and some minor handling creases in places. There is a small accretion in the lower left corner, possibly related to the artist's process. This work is in overall very good condition.
