Pablo Picasso, Original Lithograph 1973/ The Rape/ Signed, Numbered/ Vollard

  

Pablo Picasso, original lithograph not a reproduction! Technique: Lithograph on Arches paper. Suite Vollard, 1200 copies, SPADEM. Signed in the plate, numbered in pencil. Edition stamp and plate number on the back, publisher stamp on the front.

Dimensions: 43 x 33 cm. The Suite Vollard is a series of one hundred etchings by Picasso between 1930 and 1937. It is named after the art dealer who commissioned it, Ambroise Vollard.

However, it was only printed two years later by the engraver Roger Lacourière in 230 copies, but Vollard's death in 1939 and the advent of World War II meant that the series did not enter the art market until the 1950s. The edition offered dates back to 1973 (the last one), in lithographic version.
