PABLO PICASSO (after)
Nature morte à l'Instrument de Musique.

Color pochoir, circa 1920. 265x205 mm; 10 1/2x8 1/8 inches, full margins. Signed and numbered 36/100 in pencil, lower left. Published by Paul Rosenberg, Paris. A superb impression of this scarce, early print, with very strong, fresh colors.

Paul Rosenberg became Picasso's dealer in 1918 and respresented the artist until 1940. In the early 1920s he published a set of 10 pochoirs, including the current work, after a series of Cubist gouaches depicting Commedia dell'Arte motifs that Picasso had made in 1920.
