JACQUES VILLON
Buste de Baudelaire.

Color monotype on thick, beige wove paper, 1942. 302x215 mm; 11 7/8x8 1/2 inches. Signed and dated in blue ink, lower right.

A same-titled monotype, also dating from 1942, is in the collection of the Clark Art Institute, Williamstown, MA, accession number 2005.11.3. Both relate to the artist's same-titled 1920 etchings (see Ginestet/Pouillon 290 and 291), which in turn were based on Villon's brother's, Raymond Duchamp-Villon, Cubist sculpture fron 1911.
