Notes:
This color lithograph depicts Picasso’s iconic dove motif, enriched with flowering branches, symbolizing peace, renewal, and hope. Created in 1949, the image is closely associated with Picasso’s engagement in post-war peace movements and his enduring contribution to the visual language of peace in the 20th century.

The dove became one of Picasso’s most recognizable and universally celebrated symbols, transcending the art world to become an emblem of humanitarian ideals. Rendered with lyrical simplicity and expressive clarity, the composition exemplifies Picasso’s ability to convey profound meaning through minimal yet powerful imagery.

As a work printed on vellum and bearing the artist’s signature in the plate, this lithograph holds both historical significance and strong collectible appeal.
