Spanish school of the 20th century. "Scene from Manon Lescaut". Ink and gouache on paper. Signed in the lower right corner. Measurements: 20 x 24 cm; 37,5 x 41,5 cm (frame). In this drawing García Pablos immortalizes a scene from Manon Lescaut, an opera in four acts with music by Giacomo Puccini and libretto in Italian written successively by several people: Ruggiero Leoncavallo, Domenico Oliva, Marco Praga, Giuseppe Giacosa, Luigi Illica, Puccini and Giulio Ricordi. It is based on the play L'historie du chevalier des Grieux et de Manon Lescaut (1731) by Abbe Prévost, which was also the inspiration for the opera Manon by Jules Massenet.
