Cinq personnages is executed on the back of a script for the first act of Le cocu magnifique, a farcical play written by Belgian Fernand Crommelynck. Le cocu magnifique tells the story of Bruno, a village scribe who writes love letters for his uneducated fellow villagers. The story descends into chaos when Bruno’s wife is the recipient of these romantic gestures. In this work, Picasso translates the narrative onto the page with bold gestures of India ink.
