Colour lithograph on Arches wove paper. (1956). Approx. 51.5 x 38.5 cm (sheet c. 65 x 50 cm). Probably a trial proof aside from the edition of 100 copies. Signed, dated and inscribed ‘Cannes le 14.1.57’ lower right.

Picasso drew this three-colour portrait for the poster of his exhibition ‘Un demi-siècle de livres illustrés’ at the Galerie Matarasso in Nice. He worked with lithographic chalk on three zinc plates, one plate per colour. As a result of the printing on the offset press, the image and date do not appear mirror-inverted, as would be the case with a lithographic print. In addition to the 500-copy print run of the poster with text, this 100-copy edition appears without the exhibition text.
