Georges Braque Framed 'Paysage à l'Estaque' Color Lithography, circa 1906
By Georges Braque
Located in Barcelona, Barcelona
Step into the enchanting world of Georges Braque with the original 'Paysage à l'Estaque' color lithograph, a masterpiece painted in France circa 1906.

Framed to perfection and signed in the stone, this lithograph is not just a piece of art; it's a window into the mind of a major 20th-century French painter. Georges Braque's work between 1908 and 1912 is closely associated with that of his colleague Pablo Picasso, and this piece reflects the indistinguishable nature of their Cubist works...
