"Faune", Frontispice for Verve (cover Sylvette), vol. 8, No. 29/30,09/54. Private collection.

The frontispiece, titled "Faune," from the September 1954 issue of the review *Verve* (vol. 8, No. 29/30). On this printed page, Pablo Picasso has personally inscribed a copy for his friend Edward Quinn with the dedication "POUR Mon ami Quinn". Using colored pencil, he added a whimsical, minimalist faun's face and signed the page beneath the name of the director, Tériade. Colorful, wavy lines frame the publisher's information at the bottom.
