Pablo Picasso (1881 Málaga – Mougins near Cannes 1973) Marie-Thérèse as a Female Bullfighter Etching on Montval handmade paper. (1934). Approx. 29.5 x 23.5 cm. (Sheet size approx. 50.5 x 38.5 cm). One of 15 numbered copies. Signed lower right. Sheet 22 from the Suite Vollard. Bloch 220; Baer 426 B c (of d). • Picasso depicts Marie-Thérèse Walter in the unusual role of a female bullfighter • The print is part of the Suite Vollard, comprising 100 etchings • The edition comprises only 15 numbered copies In this 1934 etching, Pablo Picasso combines two themes that significantly shaped his artistic work during those years: the depiction of his then-lover and muse, Marie-Thérèse Walter, and his intense fascination with bullfighting. By casting Marie-Thérèse in the role of a female bullfighter, he links this personal motif to a visual world defined by passion, tension, and the interplay between strength and vulnerability. Created on June 20, 1934, this print is part of the Suite Vollard, a series of 100 prints in which Picasso explores his artistic and personal themes in a variety of ways. Provenance: Kornfeld, Bern, June 18, 2010, Lot 101; Private collection, USA. Taxation: subject to regular taxation (VAT: Regular Taxation).
