Set against a soft yellow textured background, the man wearing a black hat is outfitted in a green shirt and holds an unidentifable object across his arms. Indicative of Pablo Picasso's more avant garde portraits that feature flowing and organic bursts of color, this print is a substantial example of his Cubist work that features little-to-no geometric elements. A lithograph from the Marina Picasso Estate Collection after an original work by Pablo Picasso. In the 1970's after Picasso's death, Marina Picasso, his granddaughter, authorized the creation of this lithograph by Laurent Marcel Salinas, who worked closely with Picasso during his lifetime. The limited edition print run was completed and published by Marina Picasso in conjunction with Jackie Fine Arts between 1979 and 1982. The lithograph is printed on French Arches paper, ink-stamped by the Estate verso, and hand-signed by Marina Picasso on the recto. The embossed seal of the Estate is lower right and the printer's chop, lower left. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
