Note du spécialiste

Maya Widmaier-Picasso has confirmed the authenticity of this work.
Claude Picasso has confirmed the authenticity of this work.

The first owner of this work, Dr. Jean Stéhelin, was Picasso's physician for many years. In 1970, when Dr. Stéhelin visited the artist with a copy of Picasso 347, a book containing reproductions of the artist's etchings, Picasso drew upon the frontispiece and dedicated the present work to his dear friend.
