This is the first , original and only edition of this wonderful and powerful etching of Picasso!!! All the edition was stamped signed and was never hand signed.
The works Picasso created in 1970-1972 pays once more homage to the female sex, but with some unexpected accents. It is a tender and voluptuous homage in which a touch of irony mingled with respect and mischievousness is present. These are the master's last works - series 156. The work appears in the complete catalogue of prints of Picasso by George Bloch in this exact description.
