Pablo Picasso, Jaime Sabartes, Paris, Cercle d'art, 1958. This Deluxe Edition of Les Ménines et la Vie is limited to 100 copies, with this featuring an original etching signed in orange and green pencils by Picasso. The signed etching is carefully collected in a separate folder. The book itself is bound in the publisher's binding and includes 58 color reproductions of Picasso's reinterpretations of Velázquez's iconic painting Las Meninas (1656). By reimagining the composition and form of Las Meninas, Picasso demonstrates his creative mastery, transforming the classical work with his signature approach to abstraction and cubism. The book is accompanied by the publisher's slipcase, which has some very light foxing. 32 x 26 cm
