Description: 
In October 1945, encouraged by Henri Matisse and Georges Braque, Pablo Picasso met with Fernand Mourlot, director of the Mourlot Studio and Editions Mourlot. A few days after the meeting, the artist decided to dedicate himself to the lithographic and print medium and spent four months learning techniques. This experience ushered in a collaboration with the Mourlot studio that would last almost three decades and produce over 400 different graphic images and editions. This print uses the aquatint method of etching. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page)
