Also numbered in pencil on the recto in the lower lCondition: A bold impression in very good condition  Description:Created in c. 1965, this original color lithograph is hand signed by Pablo Picasso (1881 – 1973) in pencil in the lower right margin and numbered 213/250 in pencil in the lower left margin.  Published by Guy Spitzer, Paris after an original oil on canvas of the same title by Picasso created in 1911.  Both of Guy Spitzer’s embossed blindstamp and ink stamp appears in the lower left recto and lower left verso, respectively. Capturing the essence of Picasso’s prolific and revolutionary cubist period in the early 1900s, La bouteille de rhum is evidence of his fragmented and abstracted take on the still life genre.  This work is captivating in every sense as it seeks to represent this cylindrical bottle from every angle against a two-dimensional space – as is the goal of most cubist works.  It blends into a series of brown, yellow, and black tones that appear to be arranged in a chaotic geometry that continues to make perfect sense to his audience.  This is a truly groundbreaking and magnificent piece, whose large scale and grandeur makes this a quintessential Picasso for any art collection.
