Item Description
La Celestine a novel attributed to Fernando Rojas published in 1499, Picasso decided to illustrate it with 66 etchings with aquatints, dated in plate, between April 11 and August 19 1968, unsigned. The etchings done for la Celestine are part of the 347 series, Picasso worked to the etchings almost daily with Aldo and Pietro Crommelynck, at their atelier in Mougins, using different techniques. After the impressions were pulled, 66 etchings were chosen by Picasso to illustrate La Celestine. The character of La Celestine was first portrayed by Picasso on a painting in 1903.
This aquatint has provenance from Martin Lawrence Gallery on verso and is finely mounted with gold fillet and carved gilt frame.
