Picasso-Peintre et Modele From Le Chef-d’Euvre Inconnu (1927)

A rare original etching by Pablo Picasso, hand-signed in brush — one of only 99 impressions from the celebrated 1927 portfolio Le Chef-d'Œuvre Inconnu, published by Ambroise Vollard. In Peintre et Modèle, Picasso distills the eternal dialogue between artist and subject into a few spare, luminous lines — a composition of quiet authority that exemplifies the Neoclassical restraint of his late 1920s draftsmanship.

This impression presents with strong plate tone and clean margins, in fine original condition.
