A vintage self-portrait poster advertising an exhibition at the Grand Palais , Paris.

Original vintage advertising poster for Pablo Picasso Exhibition held in the Grand Palais in 1979.

This Self-Portrait, painted during his second stay in Paris in the winter of 1901, was the end of a series and marked the beginning of the Blue Period.

He returned to Barcelona in January 1902.

Picasso was only twenty years old at the time, but he appears considerably older.

His face is drawn and gaunt from the hardships of the Parisian winter.

The livid pallor of the face, relieved only by the orange tint of the lips, the scraggy beard, and the high-collared coat that enshrouds his body, all heighten the feeling of sadness and solitude that emanates from this image
The piece is framed in a Lucite case, excellent condition.
