A mermaid at rest, rendered in Laurencin's signature line: fluid, softly Cubist, unmistakably her own. The delicate hatching turns rock and water into a velvety, dreamlike atmosphere — a quiet, private moment from the height of the Jazz Age.
Laurencin (1883–1956) was one of the few women at the center of the Parisian avant-garde. Muse to Apollinaire, contemporary of Picasso and Braque, she is held today by MoMA, the Tate, and the Musée de l'Orangerie.
Unlike her common 1940s–50s lithographs, this is a rare original etching from 1922, printed on Arches wove paper. Edition of 50 — numbered 13/50 and hand-signed in pencil.
Etching: 6.75" × 4.75" · Framed: 18.25"W × 1.5"D × 15.75"H
