Description: PABLO PICASSO “Les Métamorphoses d’Ovide” Etching on Paper, 1931 - $40K Appraisal Value w/ CoA!ITEM DESCRIPTION This is an original etching from the portfolio "Les Métamorphoses d'Ovide" realized by Pablo Picasso in 1930. In minimal line work style, this tasteful print depicts what appears to be a close-up portrait of a human figure looking at his reflection; this rendering is framed by a rectangular shape and below it there is a rendering of a much smaller figure sitting on a rock in a relaxed and natural posture. Between both areas of this composite, there is a line that creates a relationship between the two scenes. This print is edition 93/100; numbered in pencil on the bottom left corner of the caged figure, and it’s signed ‘Picasso’ in pencil on the bottom right corner of the mat. In 1931, with the help of Jacqueline Apollinaire and on the advice of Pierre Matisse, the then twenty-five-year-old Albert Skira convinced Pablo Picasso to illustrate Ovid’s Metamorphoses with 30 etchings. This exceptional edition, with a print run of 145 copies, brought together and revisited more than 250 Greek myths in 11,995 verses and 15 books. Printed on Picasso's 50th birthday, the art critic and art historian Christian Zervos (later the author of Picasso’s catalogue raisonné) labelled it as "an almost Doric beauty”. A true "encyclopaedia of classical mythology", Ovide’s Les Métamorphoses are centred on 15 myths and consists of 412 pages. Picasso’s etchings are of a rare homogeneity, made of pure outlines, and discreet eroticism.
