PABLO PICASSO AND PAUL PIERRE LEMAGNY
Portrait de Pablo Picasso and Remarqué for Témoignage.

Etching on Chine collé by Lemagny with drypoint remarqué by Picasso on Rives, 1956. 398x275 mm; 15 5/8x10 3/4 inches, full margins. Edition of 65. Signed, dated and dedicated to Baqué de Sariac by Picasso in multicolored pencil, lower margin. A very good impression. Bloch 823; Baer 955a.

The dedicatee of this impression, Bernard Baqué de Sariac (1901-1986), was Picasso's attorney for several litigations during the artist's career, including the 1930 Calvert Affair and the 1960 legitimization of his children with Françoise Gilot.
