Note: This was made 11/28/1957. There were 3 states of this print ending up in the final published version which was in 3 colours, red, green and black. Mourlot notes states 1a, 1b, 1c, 2a, 2b,3a & 3b. Miguel Orozco says that Picasso was not satisfied and retakes the two plates, previously made (Green & Red) on Friday, December 13. The red one he completes and reworks with a lithographic pencil and scraper, producing a 2nd state of red (R. 718) and with the green one does the same with pencil reaching a 2nd state (R. 720). But instead of returning the plates to Mourlot, he parks them in some corner of his studio and does not pay attention to them for more than three years. On Monday, March 6, 1961, he found the two zinc plates and completed the drawing by adding a third colour, black, on lithographic paper, which he sent to the printer along with the green and red plates.Conscientiously, Mourlot sends or probably personally brings on Friday April 21, 1961, a whole series of proofs in order to obtain the definitive approval of this colour lithograph that has caused so much work. First of all, he provides a proof of the 2nd state of the red of 13.12.57 that Picasso has not seen. He also brings another proof of that same red plate but printed in black (R. 719).Then he adds a proof of the 2nd state of green and another one of that same plate, but printed in black on a gray background (R. 721). Mourlot also provides a proof of the new black plate of March 6, 1961. And finally has a three-colour proof printed with the three plates of 2nd state of the red and green, plus black. This was used to make the present signed and numbered edition
