The Details:

A Picasso you can actually live with.

Original lithograph on Arches paper: 

Drawn in January 1959, Le Vieux Roi reduces the figure of an ageing king to a handful of wonderfully economical lines: crown, beard, profile and expression.

Picasso created the lithograph for the French newspaper Le Patriote in Nice. It was printed by Mourlot, the legendary Paris workshop responsible for some of the twentieth century's most important lithographs.

This impression comes from the larger edition of 1,000 carrying Picasso's red printed/stamped signature. A separate hand-signed and numbered edition was also produced.

For us, its appeal is simple: it looks unmistakably like Picasso without needing a five-figure budget.

FROM OUR COLLECTORS

“I've bought through galleries and auctions for years. What I like here is that the edit is tight. I don't have to scroll through hundreds of mediocre works to find one interesting piece, and when I've asked for more information I've received it quickly.”

Clara B.

Private Collector, Paris

“My main concern buying online was provenance. Velloy sent over the paperwork and additional photographs before I paid, and answered the questions I had about the edition. Everything arrived exactly as described.”

Marcus

Geneva

“I was probably more nervous about the delivery than the purchase. It was packed extremely well, insured and I knew when it was arriving. It came ready to hang and looked even better in person.”

Daniel

New York

"This was the first piece of art I'd bought for more than a few hundred pounds, so I had a lot of fairly basic questions. Nobody made me feel stupid for asking them. I got extra photos, the measurements and a proper explanation of what I was buying before I decided."

Sophie M.

First-time collector, London

“The work I originally enquired about had already sold. I told them the artist, rough size and budget I was looking for and they came back with a few alternatives. I ended up buying one I preferred to the original.”
