PICASSO PENCIL ORIGINAL DRAWING - LE PEINTRE AU CHEVALET
Original drawing by Picasso, in black pencil, depicting a painter at an easel, signed and dated in the center: 15.4.70
Year: 1970
Title:Le Peintre au Chevalet
Artist: Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)
Medium: Pencil on paper
Signature: Dated and signed upper center
Dimensions: 20 × 28 cm
Description:
In this late-period drawing, Picasso captures the image of a seated painter mid-action, brush in hand and palette resting on his arm. Executed in a simplified, almost naïve style, the line drawing emphasizes form and gesture over detail. The artist’s elongated profile, emphasized nose, and prominent beard imbue the figure with character, while the angular easel and canvas assert a clear narrative: the act of creation itself.
Drawn at the age of 88, Le Peintre au Chevalet reflects Picasso’s enduring fascination with the artist as a subject—a theme he explored throughout his life. Despite its economy of line, the work communicates confidence, humor, and introspection.
