"Faune" or "Tête d' un homme barbu" (dedicated Pour mon ami E. Quinn)", La Californie, Cannes 1963 (photo)
A page from a book reveals a personal dedication from Pablo Picasso to his friend Edward Quinn. Written in green ink, the inscription reads, "pour mon ami / E. Quinn." Below, Picasso has drawn a whimsical head, "Faune" or "Tête d' un homme barbu," in crayon and added his underlined signature in orange, dating it "le 7.7.60." The drawing appears on a page from the book *45 Gravures sur linoleum 1958-1960*. Quinn captured this image at Picasso’s villa, La Californie, in Cannes in 1963.
