This print is from a well-known portfolio of prints - Douze Contemporains 1959, a portfolio of twelve prints created by Braque, Chagall, Derain, Dufy, Leger, Matisse, Modigliani, Picasso, Rouault, Utrillo, Villon and Vlaminck (organized by J. Lassaigne and printed with pochoir by Daniel Jacomet). It is in very good condition. There is very, very faint mat stain, visible upon very close inspection.

Joseph Fernand Henri Léger February 4, 1881 – August 17, 1955) was a French painter, sculptor, and filmmaker. In his early works he created a personal form of cubism (known as "tubism") which he gradually modified into a more figurative, populist style. His boldly simplified treatment of modern subject matter has caused him to be regarded as a forerunner of pop art. less
