Le repas frugal Possibly 1904 - 1913

"Le repas frugal" is a drypoint etching by Pablo Picasso from the early 20th century. The artwork depicts a man and a woman seated at a table, with a bottle of wine, a plate, and a glass, creating a sense of shared intimacy and a simple meal. Picasso's distinct style, characterized by angular lines and fragmented forms, is evident in the figures' elongated limbs and the stylized representation of the objects. This print is part of a series of etchings created by Picasso during his "Saltimbanques" period, which explored the themes of poverty, social alienation, and the lives of circus performers.
