Lithograph after the René Magritte etching Le Prêtre Marie from Signe de Survie (1968), printed on handmade flecked paper and signed by the Belgian artist's wife in pencil to lower left, marked "E[preuve]A[rtiste]" to lower right. Unexamined out of frame, apparently in fine condition. Framed to 31 x 24 inches (78.7 x 61 cm.).
The green apple became Magritte's most recognizable motif, recurring in a number of his paintings, most famously in his self-portrait Le fils de l'homme, in which Magritte dons a bowler hat and an apple floats in space, obscuring the center of his face.
