Description:
Created in 1966, Le Divertissement is a masterful print by Pablo Picasso, combining etching and drypoint on fine BFK Rives paper. Part of the artist’s late graphic work, the piece revisits timeless themes of humanity—music, sensuality, myth, and theater—with striking intensity.

The composition depicts a lively, almost bacchanalian scene, where a flute player, a nude woman, a child, and sculptural male figures coexist in a dynamic tableau. Picasso’s line is both free and precise, capturing immediacy and raw emotion, hallmarks of his late style.

As part of a rare edition of only 50 impressions, each bearing the stamped signature, this work represents a highly sought-after collector’s piece from one of the most prolific periods of Picasso’s career.
