PABLO PICASSO Les trois amis.
Etching on imitation Japan paper, 1923. 416x298 mm; 161/2x113/4 inches, 3/4-inch (full ?) margins. Second state (of 2). Artist's proof before steel-facing, aside from the edition of 150. Signed in red crayon, lower right (Geiser lists 5 impressions on "vieux japon" before steel-facing, noting that one, from the Fort collection, which was sold at Gutekunst and Klipstein, Bern, 1952, was likely signed later by the artist. The edition of 150 after steel-facing, 75 on Japan paper and 75 on Arches paper, was also signed in red by the artist). A very good impression of this scarce, early print. Bloch 76; Geiser 117 II a.
