This very nice and small lithograph was made for the artdealer Gilberte Duclaud as cover for the catalogue of Picasso works in the exhibition of Galerie 65. It was published in 1956 and it is believed that the total edition was no more than 1500 examples. Not many survived in good condition since covers are vulnerable. This piece is well preserved.
