An original Paul Jenkins stone lithograph from 1965, printed by the renowned Atelier Fernand Mourlot, Paris, one of the most important print workshops of the 20th century. Known for collaborating with artists such as Picasso, Matisse, and Chagall, Mourlot editions represent a significant standard of quality and authenticity in modern printmaking.

This work is a hand-signed and hand-numbered limited edition lithograph on Velin de Rives paper, featuring beautifully preserved deckled edges and rich tonal depth characteristic of stone lithography. Numbered 259 from an edition of 265, it represents a highly collectible example of Jenkins' expressive abstract style.

Created directly from the original lithographic stones-later erased after printing-this piece holds particular importance, as no further impressions could be produced. The composition reflects Jenkins' signature fluidity and color-driven abstraction, bringing movement and atmosphere into the work while maintaining a refined, modern presence.

Accompanied by a numbered exemplar reference (authentication copy) and additional gallery-prepared documentation, this piece is both a strong investment-grade artwork and a sophisticated statement for contemporary interiors.
