Notes:
This lithograph was published in 1954 for Verve magazine, issues no. 29–30, under the title The Human Comedy, a renowned series of 180 drawings by Pablo Picasso.
The composition depicts a costumed painter alongside his model, a recurring theme in Picasso’s work that explores the intimate and psychological relationship between artist and subject. Through expressive line and theatrical staging, Picasso merges elements of performance, identity, and self-reflection, hallmarks of his mid-century graphic output.
Printed at the prestigious Mourlot Workshop in Paris, this work forms part of one of the most important graphic publications of the post-war period and represents both strong artistic significance and enduring collectible appeal.
