Untitled (from El Entierro del Conde de Orgaz portfolio)

The folded format of the paper adds an experimental dimension to the composition, suggesting Picasso's ongoing investigation of form and space. The work exemplifies his mature printmaking style, combining technical precision with expressive power.
