Print
Picasso originally drew this portrait for his friend, author Robert Godet also known as Roby. He later etched the portrait onto a printing plate so that Roby could include the print in his book L’Age de Soleil. As he chose to replicate the drawing exactly, both the artist’s signature and the title of the piece are reversed in the print. Picasso later gave the printing plate to Roby with permission to print further editions.
