$1,999.00

The Old Guitarist (1903–04) is a poignant work from Picasso’s Blue Period, portraying a frail, blind musician absorbed in his guitar. The monochromatic blue palette evokes melancholy and isolation, emphasizing themes of poverty, suffering, and resilience.

The elongated figure, with its somber expression and worn clothing, communicates deep emotional vulnerability. Through simplicity and muted tones, Picasso captures a universal human condition of loneliness and endurance during hardship.
