Marie Laurencin (1883–1956)
Petite Tête
Original Hand-Colored Etching
France, c. 1920s–1930s
Original intaglio etching by Marie Laurencin, delicately hand-colored, depicting a stylized female head in the artist’s signature lyrical, modernist style. The print shows a clearly defined plate mark and hand-applied color washes, confirming it is not a later reproduction indication.
The work is presented in a tasteful vintage frame with soft blue matting that complements the artwork beautifully. Label on the verso from Art Invest, 17 East 96th Street, New York, a respected mid-20th-century New York gallery known for modern European works.
This piece is unsigned, which is typical for many of Laurencin’s smaller decorative etchings from this period.
