In 1936 Cahiers D'Art published a volume dedicated to the previous five years of work by Picasso. The article was illustrated with an image of Picasso's portrait of Marie-Thèrese Walter, his model and mistress of the time. The illustration consisted of an image of the painting, Tête de Femme, 1935 (Zervos 35-002), which the artist had reworked by scratching a design directly onto the copper plate used to print the photograph of the painting. The present lot is a halftone print of the reworked image, signed by the artist and dedicated to Bernard Geiser, the author of the first catalogue raisonné of Picasso's prints.
