Pocos sabrian que està litografia fue realitzada y diseñada en recuerdo de una de las mas inolvidables,pocos sabrian que el propio Jean León que fue el que encargo que fuera plasmada en la etiqueta de uno de sus vinos mas exclusivos a uno de los artistes mas celebres y renombrados por su incansable trabajo de tantos años, reconstruyendo lo que otro genio como Gaudí dejò innacabado. Y para acabar tan extenso preambulo,pocos sabrian que Jean León fue el ultimo que vio y hablo con Merilyn Monroe poco antes de su tràgica y polèmica muerte. Hay litografias que solo valen una cena de mariscada y otras como està que no tienen precio por la història que la acompanya.
