PABLO PICASSO
Femme nue assise et Trois Têtes barbues.

Etching and aquatint on laid paper, 1934. 130x180 mm; 5 1/8x7 inches, wide margins. Edition of 260. Signed in pencil, lower right. Printed by Lacourière, Paris. Published by Vollard, Paris with the watermark. A superb, richly-inked impression.

One of 100 different etchings from the Vollard Suite, a series Picasso (1881-1977) produced from 1930 to 1937 for Parisian publisher Ambroise Vollard. While over 300 sets were printed, complete suites are exceedingly rare, instead the prints from this series now are often found individually. Bloch 216; Baer 416.
