Pablo Picasso Pen Drawing Print – Woman Facing Her Mirror (Offset Edition from “Le Soleil Ébloui”)
Original 1951 Picasso pen drawing reproduced as a high-quality offset print on parchment-style paper. This elegant sketch depicts a woman gazing at her reflection in a mirror – a timeless theme of beauty, self-reflection, and vanity in art. The composition explores the classic motif: “Who is the prettiest?” as the woman admires her own image, with the mirror revealing her captivating form.

This artwork originates from “Le Soleil Ébloui” (The Dazzled Sun), a 1974 poetry collection by Geneviève Laporte, Picasso’s former muse and companion. The book features 12 pen drawings (plus one collage) by Pablo Picasso, created especially to illustrate her poems. (Note: Some sources reference up to 13 reproductions; this piece belongs to the core series of intimate, expressive line drawings Picasso produced for the project.)
