Picasso's "Femmes Entre Elles.." | Original 156 Series Etching | Plate 67
This exceptional original etching, titled "Femmes Entre elles, dont une avec une Fleur et Tableau Drapé" (Plate 67), stems from Pablo Picasso's storied 156 Series, the definitive final printmaking triumph of his legendary career. Created on March 5, 1971, as inscribed by Picasso directly into the plate, the date appears in reverse within the impression, serving as a raw, tangible timestamp of the artist's late-period creative energy. The artwork showcases a complex, cubist-influenced figurative composition of nude women that beautifully meditates on the timeless themes of voyeurism, classicism, and the female form.
While the plate was executed by the aging master in 1971, the actual printing was not finalized until years after his 1973 death, meticulously hand-pulled by the renowned Crommelynck brothers. Having worked side by side with Picasso in Mougins during his final years, the master printers ensured the posthumous edition fully honored his precise artistic standards. Published by the Galerie Louise Leiris in Paris, this rare masterpiece represents an elite collection piece for fine art connoisseurs and museum grade collectors eager to secure a crucial artifact from Picasso's final works.
