This work is sold with two photo-certificates from Maya Widmaier-Picasso both dated Paris le 3 Avril 2005.
Please see note to lot 310. The paper in many of the sketchbooks that Picasso liked to use was sufficiently transparent that the artist could roughly trace the image from one side of the sheet to the other, and utilize the resultant reversed image. During 22-28 April 1971, while on a brief break from making etchings, Picasso undertook a series of pen and ink drawings in which he depicted numerous female heads and figures (The Picasso Project, nos. 71.155-169). He returned to the present sketchbook during this period, and appears to have found new use for some of the motifs in the Jacqueline profiles therein, which by then were six months old. He executed the present verso drawing on 26 April, using pen and black ink with wash, his media of choice for the April 1971 drawings.
