Pablo Picasso

Profil en trois couleurs (Profile in Three Colours)

A striking lithograph by Pablo Picasso, *Profil en trois couleurs (Profile in Three Colours)* presents a characteristically fragmented and abstracted human face rendered in a bold, limited palette. The work exemplifies Picasso's mastery of Cubist principles, where a profile is simultaneously dissected and reconstructed through geometric planes of color. Printed on wove paper with deckle edges on two sides, the full sheet preserves the raw, tactile quality of the original impression.

Medium
Lithograph in colours, on wove paper, the full sheet (deckle on two sides),
