A single dachshund stretches horizontally across a black ground in a loose, continuous white line drawing, rendered in Picasso's signature minimalist style. The elongated body and simplified forms capture the essence of the dog with economical marks, while the artist's signature appears in the lower right, anchoring this iconic sketch from the mid-twentieth century. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
