Created in 1955 – 1958, this original color lithograph is from the print edition after an original oil on canvas by Pablo Picasso.  Numbered 4/100 in pencil in the lower left margin, this work is hand signed by Pablo Picasso (1881 – 1973) in pencil in the lower right margin. Printed on wove paper, this work has hand-applied pochoir coloring throughout.

This brilliantly bold work, abstract work is striking in coloration and even more unique with its hand-applied pochoir.  The effect of this technique in color application allows for a richer, texturized coloration making the entire composition appear to leap from the canvas.  Our Femme verte is central to this piece, depicted in a stunning emerald green with deep hues of teal and light mint greens.  She is surrounded by a palette of complementary colors: sunny yellows, deep marigolds, red-oranges, and navy blues.  Even the alternating grey and black pattern of her striped skirt serve as a harmonizing contrast to her brighter, deeper color.  In the lower left, we can see her white cat with yellow stripes who is batting playfully on its back in her lap.
