Pablo Picasso

Bacchanale: Flûtiste et danseurs aux cymbales (Bacchanal: Flutist and Dancers with Cymbals)

A vibrant and dynamic composition, this lithograph by Pablo Picasso depicts a joyous Bacchanalian scene filled with energetic figures playing flutes and clashing cymbals in a state of uninhibited celebration. Executed with Picasso's characteristic bold, fluid lines, the work captures the ecstatic spirit of ancient revelry, blending classical mythology with his distinctly modernist visual language. This signed and numbered edition of 33/50, published by the prestigious Galerie Louise Leiris in Paris, represents a rare and collectible example of Picasso's celebrated printmaking practice.

Medium
signed and numbered 33/50 in pencil (there were also 20 artist's proofs), published by Galerie Louise Leiris, Paris, framed.
