One of the most frequently seen characters in Picasso’s prints from 1968 was Célestine, an old hag who lurks in the studio, protecting, or exploiting the model, her daughter. She is a most disreputable voyeur. Such scenes are reminiscent of images in Goya’s series Los Caprichos where mothers and their daughters stroll on the terraces of the Prado, looking for opportunities. The character comes from a play in the picaresque tradition called Célestine, The Tragi-comedy of Calixtus and Melibea, written in 1499 by Fernando de Rojas. With many plots and subplots, Célestine and her family perpetrate awful deceits on nearly everyone, chiefly the respectable townsfolk. De Rojas gleefully describes these characters providing Picasso ample material for his visual imagination.
