Picasso was 83 years "young" when he created this charming caricature of himself - he was a heavy smoker and his striped shirt makes the subject obvious. He was also famous for his arresting gaze reflecting on this image. It is a superb impression with strong colours, created after steelfacing of the plate. Published by Galerie Louise Leiris, Paris in 1965.
