This black and white lithograph is a reproduction after Picasso’s original The Acrobat's Family with a Monkey, a pivotal work created during his transition from the Blue to the Rose Period. The piece captures themes of domestic intimacy, detachment, and the duality of relationships, reflecting Picasso’s own personal struggles with fatherhood at the time.

The composition features an acrobat, a mother with a child, and a monkey—a symbolic creature historically associated with jesters and performers. The juxtaposition of these figures conveys both harmony and emotional distance, with the monkey subtly mirroring the gestures of the man. Picasso’s sensitive use of form and posture suggests an underlying tension, making this one of the most psychologically complex works of his early career.

About the Artist:
Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) was a Spanish artist whose revolutionary approach to painting, sculpture, and printmaking defined 20th-century modern art. A co-founder of Cubism alongside Georges Braque, Picasso constantly reinvented his artistic style, leaving an unparalleled legacy. His extensive body of work spans multiple periods, including the Blue, Rose, African, Cubist, and later Surrealist-influenced phases.

This limited-edition lithograph offers collectors an opportunity to own an artwork that embodies Picasso’s evolving artistic vision and profound exploration of human relationships.
