This lot consists of a fine art print on paper, hand signed "Picasso" and numbered "2/100" in graphite at bottom. Image depicts a young family having a private moment behind the curtains of the circus. The young father, dressed in harlequin garb, looks on. His wife, brown hair swept into a dancer's bun, cradles the head of their bouncing infant. Nearby, a monkey, much like the family dog, sits and gazes up at the sight of this tender trinity. All is washed in shades of blue and rose. Very similar to Picasso's "Family of Acrobats with Monkey" (1905). Done in the signature style of the Blue Period of Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881-1973), which, in its last years, was heavily inspired by travelling circus performers and their families. Unframed piece measures approximately 8.25" x 11.5".
