"Colombe volant (à l'Arc en Ciel)" is a vibrant 1952 lithograph by Picasso depicting a flying dove set against a rainbow, created during a period when the artist frequently returned to the symbol of the dove as a motif of peace and hope. The work was printed in colours by the renowned Parisian printer Mourlot on Arches paper in an edition of 200, with this particular impression signed in pencil and numbered. The composition exemplifies Picasso's ability to combine symbolic imagery with dynamic, expressive colour and form, capturing both the delicacy of the subject and the energy characteristic of his mid-century printmaking practice.
