Pablo Picasso, 347 Series Etching on Paper, Signed and Numbered
A remarkable signed etching from Pablo Picasso's celebrated 347 Series, dated March 24, 1968 (number 6.) Old Man with Magician Evoking Three Odalisque exemplifies Picasso's late-period exploration of erotic and theatrical themes, rendered with his distinctive fluid line work and expressive figuration. The scene features an imaginative arrangement of figures, blending surreal and classical elements with bold contouring and intricate detail. The etching is signed in pencil by Picasso in the lower right and numbered 18 of 50, marking it as a rare limited edition. The work also bears the annotation Rimaste 24.3.68 II in reverse within the plate, indicative of Picasso's experimental approach during this prolific period. The 347 Series, created in the span of just seven months, showcases Picasso's remarkable ability to fuse mythology, literature, and fantasy into dynamic, spontaneous compositions. This work is a prime example of his mastery in printmaking, where he continually pushed the boundaries of the medium.
