Mediterranean life always played a role in Picasso's graphic works. The Faun, bucolic revelries and Bacchanalia count among the motifs that best reflect the artist's lust for life and sensual pleasures. In this work Picasso renders an ideal illustration of a southern afternoon with ancient and contemporary motifs melting. The differentiate use of light and shade creates a balanced composition of a harmonious atmosphere. [SM].
