- A particularly harmonious and highly sought-after piece from the Faun lithograph series created in Vallauris on March 10, 1948. - The graphic works in Picasso’s oeuvre reached their peak in terms of thematic diversity, scope, and technical skill, especially after 1945. - The Faun is also a bucolic figure with whom Picasso identified.
