Corrida Bullfight Print Appraisal

Pablo Picasso 'Corrida' (Bullfight) Limited Edition Lithograph

This item is a limited edition color lithograph after the 1901 painting 'Corrida' by Pablo Picasso. The artwork depicts a vibrant bullfighting scene in a crowded arena, executed in an early Impressionist/Post-Impressionist style with thick, visible brushstrokes and bold colors including ochre sand, deep red barriers, and a dark blue sky. The print is numbered 23/100 in the lower left margin and bears a printed facsimile signature of Picasso in the lower right. Physically, the piece is mounted in a decorative, crackle-textured gold and cream frame with a blue mat board. The print paper appears to be an off-white wove stock. The condition appears stable within the frame, though there is potential for light aging or toning of the paper margin. The frame shows some minor surface wear consistent with age, likely late 20th century. This specific edition likely stems from the 'Collection Domaine de Picasso' or a similar posthumous estate-sanctioned printing, given the numbering and signature style. The craftsmanship of the reproduction seeks to mimic the heavy impasto of the original oil painting, creating a textured visual effect on a flat surface.
