# The Frugal Meal, in The Etching Revival

Pablo Picasso made this (September 1904, printed 1913), aged about 23. It is now at the Cleveland Museum of Art.

From the museum's label:

> In this early print, Pablo Picasso depicted a couple—possibly two performers—sitting before a meager meal. Although the woman gazes forward directly, her male companion's unfocused stare suggests his blindness.
