Artistic Provenance & Heritage
The Master Printers: This exquisite piece was printed at the legendary Atelier Mourlot in Paris, the world’s most famous lithography studio.
The Collaboration:
Produced under the direct supervision of Picasso’s most trusted master lithographer, Henri Deschamps, ensuring the highest level of color accuracy and artistic integrity.
The Subject:
The artwork features Picasso’s 1969 oil masterpiece "Homme à l’épée" (Man with a Sword), also known as The Corsair. It is a fierce, energetic depiction reflecting the artist’s undiminished passion at the age of 88.
Vintage Authenticity & Condition
Authentic Patina:
As an original print from 1970, this piece displays subtle "foxing" (small age spots). Far from being a flaw, these delicate marks are a guarantee of authenticity, proving the paper’s 50-year history and its genuine vintage origin.
Paper & Technique:
High-quality color lithography on heavy art paper, preserving the vibrant strokes and depth of the original painting.
Expert Framing
This lithograph is presented in a stunning, bold red frame with a deep black mat (passe-partout). Red was Picasso’s signature color—a symbol of Spanish temperament and passion—making this a magnificent "statement piece" ready to dominate any sophisticated interior.
