About the Item
This exquisite lithograph after Pablo Picasso (1881–1973), titled Le Taureau (The Bull), originates from the rare 1970 folio Pablo Picasso, Histoire naturelle (Natural History). Published and printed by Production Edito-Service S.A., Le Grand-Saconnex, Canton of Geneve, this remarkable project presents a second edition of a suite of images created by Picasso to accompany the classic natural history texts of Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon. First conceived in 1936 and realized over several decades, these works reflect Picasso’s fascination with nature, movement, and organic form, reinterpreting Buffon’s 18th-century scientific prose through the lens of modern art.
Executed on papier bouffant des Papeteries de Casteljoux paper, this lithograph measures 12.99 x 9.84 inches (33 x 25 cm). As issued, it is unsigned and unnumbered, consistent with the authorized 1970 publication format. This edition, produced with the permission of Martin Fabiani, preserves the integrity, tonality, and clarity of Picasso’s original etchings from the celebrated 1942 edition, reaffirming his mastery of line and form.

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).
