Original lithograph, unsigned; in beautiful, old-gold-coloured frame; dimensions: 44 x 34 cm (frame), 32 x 25 cm (sheet), 22 x 16 cm (visible part of the sheet).
This lithograph belongs to the series 'Le goût du bonheur', which Picasso had published in 1970 by the German publisher Carl Schunemann at the insistence of some friends. His friends had shown him the extraordinary quality of Schunemann's printer - the Dietz Offizin studio in Munich - in the production of lithographs. Picasso was so inspired by it that he immediately grouped a number of unpublished drawings (68 in total) to have them printed lithographically by Dietz Offizin.
Three partners joined forces to make the publication possible: Cercle d'Art (Paris), Harry N. Abrams (New York), and Carl Schunemann (Bremen). Each of these publishers took on 666 copies, so that a total of 1998 copies were printed. The sheet framed here comes from the reserve of Carl Schunemann.
Picasso himself followed the printing process very closely and corrected the printing where necessary, so that the sheets acquired maximum authenticity. The title of the series ('Le goût du bonheur') was also given to the series at Picasso's suggestion.
