A Blue Period Portrait: La Celestina

La Celestina is another representative work of the Blue Period, and it is a portrait. So far we've talked mostly about the period's color, but in terms of subject matter, the Blue Period is full of old age, poverty and hardship, and people on the margins of society. Besides La Celestina, The Life, The Old Guitarist and The Tragedy were all painted in this period and are among its best-known works. Take a look at them together.
