Figure 7, from the Black Numerals series
1968
A landmark print from Jasper Johns's celebrated 'Black Numerals' series of 1968, 'Figure 7' presents the numeral seven rendered in bold, gestural lithographic strokes overlaid with an iconic Mona Lisa image — a hallmark Johns motif referencing Marcel Duchamp and art historical appropriation. The work exemplifies Johns's exploration of familiar signs and their perceptual transformation, executed in dramatic monochrome with expressive mark-making. This example is numbered 33/70, hand-signed by the artist, and accompanied by a gallery-issued Certificate of Authenticity. The series remains among the most significant American prints of the postwar era.
