Le peintre et son modele

about Le peintre et son modele

Reclining on a sofa, the nude female model looks backward toward her raised feet as the painter renders her portrait.

Comprised of short, wavy lines, this scene by Pablo Picasso focuses on the interaction between the painter and the model in regard to the practice of portraiture. 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.
