A spanish couple in front of inn 1900

"A Spanish Couple in Front of an Inn" is a 1900 pastel on paper by Pablo Picasso. The painting depicts a couple in traditional Spanish garb standing in front of a building with a sign that reads "VINOS," suggesting it is an inn or wine shop. Picasso’s early work, this piece exemplifies his Blue Period with muted colors and a sense of melancholy. This poignant portrayal of everyday life in Spain provides a glimpse into the young artist’s masterful handling of form and color.
