Jean COCTEAU. (1889–1963) "Orpheus Turning His Head…," 1956 Black-and-white lithograph (Mourlot print), hand-colored by the artist on vellum paper. Signed and dated in the lower right corner of the print, with “Menton” inscribed in the lower left corner. Countersigned by the artist in red pencil in the upper right corner and marked “i/j” in pencil in the lower left corner. Dimensions: 50.5 x 65.5 cm Experts: (The sheet is mounted on cardboard at the edges, likely detachable; stains; small tears along the edges; slight creases at the bottom.) When Mourlot printed this black-and-white lithograph, Jean Cocteau colored and re-signed a few copies (usually about ten) for several different subjects related to the Menton City Hall. None of these prints are colored in exactly the same way. We would like to thank Ms. Annie Guédras, who kindly authenticated this work and provided valuable information about it. Provenance: Private collection in Comminges Experts: Frédérick and Pauline CHANOIT
