Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) Man with a dog (rue Schoelcher). 1915-1930. Etching and scraping. 217 x 278. Bloch 28; Geiser-Baer 39 III B b. A very fine and fresh proof, one of 60 on "Arches" watermarked white vellum, printed with ground tint, signed in red pencil, from the print run made in 1947 by Lucien Vollard and Marcel Lecomte. Slight lack in the lower left corner of the folio. Good margins [255 x 329]. Total edition of approximately 100 proofs. "The copper was acquired by Vollard in 1930 and not printed by him. The proofs were not, strictly speaking, "published". It was Marcel Lecomte who took care of them and it was he who had them signed by Picasso, probably at the end of the 50's."
