Arlequin Assis (Jacinto Salvado)

This 1964 offset lithograph depicts the theatrical figure Harlequin in a seated pose, characteristic of Picasso's sustained engagement with commedia dell'arte imagery throughout his career. The work exemplifies the artist's ability to translate gestural drawing into print through the medium of lithography, with the composition rendered in multiple colours on wove paper. As a limited edition impression inscribed "Tirage limité I/112," this print represents Picasso's continued exploration of the Harlequin motif, a subject that held enduring significance in his artistic practice from the early Blue Period through his later decades.
