Varnished etching
This is a variation on the lithograph published in the 1958 Christmas issue of XXe Siècle magazine.
This varnished work features a stylized, uncluttered bird, elegantly spreading its wings. The circular ochre background highlights the bird's radiant purity, while its flowing lines breathe dynamism into the composition. Fascinated by flight and the idea of freedom, Braque creates a suspended, timeless vision in which the bird seems to want to escape the frame, yet remains integrated into the geometric structure. The black cross provides a striking contrast to the lightness of the central subject, adding a visual tension that reinforces the work's graphic impact. The bird, a recurring motif in Braque's work, here embodies spiritual elevation, a being suspended between earthly weight and aspiration towards celestial freedom.

Georges Braque
Georges Braque was born in Argenteuil, France, in 1882. Braque lived much of his childhood and young adult life in Le Havre. He attended night classes at the art school from 1897–99 and then moved to Paris, where he obtained his license as a master decorator. From 1905–06, after studying at École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and having been influenced by the works of Henri Matisse, he began to paint in the way of Fauvism by using bright colors and taking advantage of the freedom of the composition. Paysage à L'Estaque (1906) was one of the prominent works of art made at this time.
The year 1907 was a significant time in Braque's development, wherein he visited the retrospective on Paul Cézanne and he came into contact with Picasso, who was very engrossed in the realization of Les Demoiselles d'Avignon at the time. At this point, Braque began nurturing a considerable interest in primitive art. After the First World War, Braque worked autonomously and developed a more personal style, which was characterized by vivid colors and textured surfaces. Braque painted still life, interior views, and ocean scenes. The Ateliers (1948–55) and Birds (1955–63) series were painted during this period. In 1948, he obtained his first award for painting at the XXIV Biennial in Venice.
