Painted in 1896, The Altarboy (El monaguillo) is closely tied to Picasso’s major academic project from the same year, First Communion. Created during his studies at the La Llotja School of Fine Arts in Barcelona, the fifteen-year-old artist painted this expressive study of an acolyte with astonishing technical maturity. Featuring rich red liturgical garments, delicate lace details, and a soft, candlelit facial expression, the canvas reveals Picasso’s deep engagement with classical Spanish Baroque realism and masterly chiaroscuro. The original work is preserved at the Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey in Spain.
