Lot Essay

Picasso first composed this print in 1915, but must have printed only a few proofs at the time - Baer records only two impressions from this period. He returned to the plate 15 years later, together with the printer Louis Fort, and made a few small changes with the scraper, but again printed only a handful of impressions (one before and a total of four after some changes to the image), before an edition was finally printed in 1947.
