A richly detailed offset lithograph of Pablo Picasso’s portrait of the French art historian Jean Leymarie. Curling black lines and touches of leafy green surround wide, spiral-like eyes and an elaborate beard. The animated composition is balanced by a generous cream, linen-textured mat, an olive-green inner border and a slim metallic frame.
Picasso dedicated this portrait to his friend Jean Leymarie, the author of Picasso: The Artist of the Century. The dedication, Picasso’s signature and the date July 1, 1969, appear at the upper left as part of the printed composition.

About the artist
Pablo Picasso was a Spanish-born painter, sculptor and printmaker whose restless invention helped shape twentieth-century art. Alongside Georges Braque, he developed Cubism, challenging traditional perspective and changing the way artists represented form. His work ranged from the quiet humanity of his Blue and Rose periods to radical Cubist compositions, ceramics and an extraordinary body of prints and drawings. Portraiture remained central throughout his career, and his later work brought renewed freedom, humor and energy to the human face.
