Printemps (Springtime); and Eté (Summer), from Jeux de dames (Checkers Game)

Two luminous lithographs by Bernard Buffet depict the contrasting moods of spring and summer through his signature stark, expressive linework and somber yet evocative palette. Each composition features elegant female figures rendered in Buffet's characteristically angular style, capturing the essence of the seasons with a sense of melancholic grace. Both works are signed and annotated "Bon à Tirer" in pencil, designating them as the artist's approved proof prints from the *Jeux de dames* series.
