Edition of 50. Signed in pencil lower right and numbered lower left by Picasso. This linocut is one of a series of Picasso’s radical reinterpretations of Manet’s famous painting, begun in June 1954 and continued over the next decade. By this late stage, the “Conversationalist” has lost his hair, has clearly aged, and now resembles Picasso himself, in conversation with a Victorine who could be said to resemble his wife, Jacqueline.
