A period First Edition vintage offset lithograph, full-color print, after Cubist painting "Femme Assise" (Seated Woman, 1939) by Pablo Picasso. Comes from a First Limited Edition of XVI pieces from Picasso's Cubism period, published by Les Editions Du Chene in Paris, France in 1943. Pieces for this portfolio were selected by Pablo Picasso himself. Printed on one side. Hand tipped-in on a board of heavy paper. Numbered on the board: I. Information regarding the original artwork will be found by lifting the piece, in French. Good condition of the print - 0.25" long rip at the lower left corner (which won't show when the piece is matted and framed); the board shows some tanning and edge wear; never framed.
Overall 10.95"W x 14.90"H

On the subject of the editor: Editions du Chêne, Paris 1941, it is an occupied Paris which witnesses the emergence, 16, place Vendôme, of the Editions du Chêne. A risky bet given that its 21-year old founder was called Maurice Kahane, an atheist Jewish man who would then adopt the name of his mother, Girodias. The Chêne specialised itself by the edition of art books and literature. The Editions du Chêne would become a branch of the Hachette group in 1951. The edition of art books would then adopt pride of place. George Herscher takes over the Hachette house with enthusiasm in 1971.
