George Braque (1882-1963, French), "Athene (Athena)," 1932, color lithograph on paper, ed. 12/75 in pencil lower right margin, signed "G.Braque" in pencil lower right margin, with an artist CV attached en verso, and a "London Grafica Arts" label attached en verso, presented in a large linen mat and polychromed frame, H.- 16 in., W.- 12 3/4 in., Framed H.- 38 1/2 in., W.- 32 1/8 in.

The sight dimensions (everything within mat) are H.- 16.5 inches x W.- 13 inches; The dimensions of the printed area (the actual image) are H.- 14 in. x W.- 11.5 in. The paper was folded backwards at some point around the actual image, since there are creases around the entire piece. The darkened areas of paper on margins, especially on the bottom seem to be from previous taping on back. It is possible the tape released some acid to discolor paper. It is unclear whether there is still tape on the back of the piece. This is a handsome example. ______________________________________________________________________________ ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD "AS IS."
