A striking presentation of one of the most haunting images in modern art.

This framed print reproduces Pablo Picasso's The Old Guitarist  (1903–1904), the defining work of the artist's legendary Blue Period. The image depicts a blind, destitute musician hunched over his guitar — an emblem of human suffering and artistic expression that has made this painting one of the most visited works at the Art Institute of Chicago.

Presentation

The print is handsomely matted in black and housed in a silver-toned decorative frame with an ornate beaded inner border. The brown paper backing suggests vintage framing, adding character and a sense of provenance.
