Pablo Picasso Etching from the 347 Series

1984

A meticulous miniaturized reproduction of one of Picasso's celebrated etchings from his monumental 347 Series, this work by Richard Pettibone reflects his signature practice of appropriating iconic works by modern masters. Rendered in precise detail, Pettibone's interpretation invites contemplation on originality, authorship, and the nature of artistic reproduction. The work is uniquely authenticated with two thumbprints alongside the artist's signature and date, adding a distinctly personal mark to this meditation on artistic identity.
