Item Description
A rare and captivating original etching by Pablo Picasso, produced during his prolific "Suite 347" period at Mougins. This work, dated August 16, 1968, exemplifies the artist's masterful use of line to evoke movement and narrative. The composition depicts a surreal circus atmosphere, featuring a nude female rider atop a horse, accompanied by onlookers and a chariot-like figure in the foreground.
