Pablo Picasso's The Old Guitarist

The Old guitarist is an oil painting Pablo Picasso produced while in Spain in 1903. its a picture depicting an old man playing his guitar slumped over in the streets of Barcelona.  he is depicted as blind. He looks tired and suffering. the colors used for the painting are blues and grays giving of the feeling cold and solitude. How long has he been there? Why is he there in the first place? does he have nowhere else to be? The picture is painted as a scene of sadness. what if he's playing something on the guitar something joyous. maybe hes playing something to cheer himself up.
