About the Item

This exquisite lithograph after Pablo Picasso (1881–1973), titled Deux tetes de femme (Two Heads of Women), originates from the rare 1970 folio Suite des reproductions des Eaux-fortes de Pablo Picasso pour illustrer les Metamorphoses d'Ovide. Published and printed by Production Edito-Service S.A., Le Grand-Saconnex, Canton of Geneve, in collaboration with Albert Skira, Geneve, this edition presents faithful reproductions of the original etchings created by Picasso in 1930–31 for the landmark illustrated book Les Metamorphoses d'Ovide. The composition exemplifies Picasso’s neoclassical grace and psychological depth, depicting two female profiles rendered with refined linework and sculptural simplicity inspired by antiquity. Executed on velin papier Verge fin blanc des papeteries de Bellerive, this lithograph measures 11.02 x 8.66 inches (28 x 22 cm) with an image size of 4.3 x 5.5 inches (10.9 x 14 cm). As issued, it is unsigned and unnumbered, consistent with the authorized 1970 publication format. This edition, produced under Albert Skira’s supervision, preserves the tonal clarity and linear precision of the original copper etchings created by Picasso for the 1931 deluxe edition of Les Metamorphoses d'Ovide, one of the most celebrated artist’s books of the 20th century.

About the Artist: Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, and ceramicist whose revolutionary vision redefined modern art in the 20th century. Born in Malaga, Spain, he demonstrated prodigious talent from an early age and trained in Barcelona and Madrid before moving to Paris, where he became the epicenter of avant-garde innovation. Picasso pioneered Cubism alongside Georges Braque, explored emotional depth through his Blue and Rose periods, and continually reinvented his style across thousands of works in painting, drawing, sculpture, and printmaking. His influence spans movements from Surrealism to abstraction, and his work remains central to global art history. The highest price ever paid for one of his artworks is approximately US $179.4 million for *Les Femmes d’Alger (Version O)* (1955).
