The Rose Period cooling off into something graver and more archaic, the boy and horse built like figures off a Greek relief.

A boy from the street in a crown of roses, painted the year Picasso's blue gloom warmed into rose.

Circus people stand together in an empty landscape without looking at each other. The Rose Period at its largest and most wistful.
