Cocteau’s bold and minimalist line work captures the surreal, dreamlike energy of classical mythology with a modern, graphic touch.
This lithograph was executed using traditional stone lithography techniques at Atelier Aloys Litho near Paris, under the direction of master lithographer Mario Ferreri.
It features Jean Cocteau’s signature lithographed in the plate at the lower right.
A Certificate of Authenticity issued and signed by Mario Ferreri accompanies the work.
The artwork is beautifully presented in an authentic 19th-century Empire-style wooden frame, adorned with gilded accents and a classical silhouette that contrasts elegantly with the modernist drawing. The juxtaposition of eras creates a powerful and unique visual impact.
A timeless collector’s piece that bridges modernist imagination with neoclassical grandeur.
