À propos du tableau
Old Jewish Man with a Boy or Blind Beggar with a Boy is an oil on canvas painting by Pablo Picasso, from 1903. It was made in Barcelona, Spain, and characteristic of his Blue Period. Picasso later moved to Paris, where he sold the work to Sergei Shchukin, whose collection was seized by the Soviet state after the October Revolution, which assigned it to its present home in the Pushkin Museum, in Moscow.
