In 1971, shortly before he passed away,
Picasso produced copper plates and proofs for a large quantity of etchings called Series 156. Impressions of each etching
were finally published posthumously by Picasso's estate, numbered in pencil by the publisher, and signed with an
estate signature stamp.

Series
156 Plate 107
Signed Original Etching
by Pablo Picasso
Original etching in black ink on Rives BFK paper by Pablo
Picasso. Plate 107 from Series 156. Titled "Degas Viewing Partially Dressed Prostitutes" in Bloch's
catalogue raisonne, the image shows Degas on the right looking at three partially clothed women at the left. Signed lower
right with the Picasso estate signature stamp. Numbered 45/50 in pencil lower right by the publisher. Dated in the plate in
reverse 4/2/71 lower left in the image.
A wonderful combination of charicature (Degas) and Picasso's classic
cubism (the Women) and a very large etching. This piece could easily be a centerpiece of a modern art collection.
Total edition size is 50 numbered (regular edition) and 18 proofs for the artist and publisher. The plates were completed and proofed in 1971, about 2 years before Picasso died. The
etchings were printed before 1975 and published in 1978. Reference: Bloch 1963 in Bloch, Picasso Project: Catalogue of
the Printed Graphic Works, Volume 4, Revised Edition from 2004, P. 70. (Picasso did not title the work himself; it
was titled by the compilers of the catalogue raisonne.)
