Femme Au Chapeau Gris

about Femme Au Chapeau Gris

This print by Pablo Picasso showcases the artist's changing methods of incorporating Cubism into his portraits of sitters.

Colored almost entirely in greyscale, the print containes a soft yellow hint of color above the face of the sitter. Pablo Picasso's fusion of shape and form creates a subtle and understated portrayal of a human being sheathed in dark monotones. 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.
