INFORMATION: This plate was put on copper by the French engraver and brother of Marcel Duchamp, Jacques VILLON, in 1930, for the Bernheim gallery. The latter would later give the copper plates to the Louvre museum, which would reissue them in small numbers in the 1950s. On the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the artist's death, a new and exceptional edition was produced. The engraving is accompanied by its certificate of authenticity from Chalcographie.
