PABLO PICASSO LES SALTIMBANQUES ENGRAVING - Pablo Picasso, Spanish, 1881 to 1973, drypoint engraving on paper. Titled Les Saltimbanques. Ca. 1905. Signed in the lower right. The theme of the saltimbanque, or itinerant circus performer, dominated Picassos work from late 1904 to 1906. This drypoint of a young acrobat balancing on a ball while other members of his troupe carry out mundane tasks anticipates two major canvases of 1905, Young Acrobat on a Ball, now in The Pushin State Museum of Fine Arts, Moscow, and Family of Saltimbanques, now in the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.
