Original lithograph on Arches paper after Pablo Picasso created in 1969. From the portfolio Portraits Imaginaire (Imaginary Portraits). In January 1969, at the age of 87, Picasso received a shipment of painting supplies packed with sheets of brown corrugated cardboard. Inspired by these 'blank canvases' Picasso set about painting a series of imaginary portraits over the next four months in simple brilliant colors, many referring back to Picasso’s own earlier images: Balzac, Shakespeare and the dandies of 17th century Holland.
