Picasso et Manuel Pallares

about Picasso et Manuel Pallares

Donning togas of blue and red and wearing laurel wreaths on their bald heads, Pablo Picasso and his life-long friend Manuel Pallarès sit beside one another as they smoke cigarettes and hold a horn of wine in the air.

The smiles on their faces and the happiness at their time spent together reflects the seventy-year friendship between the two artists, both of whom died within one year of the other. Estate of Picasso, (Marina Picasso) pencil signature and embossed blindstamp lower right. Ink stamp verso 'Approved by the heirs of Pablo Picasso'.
