The presence within the 347 series of scenes containing carts and chariots testify to the debt Picasso felt he owed to classical western art. Referencing ancient pagan depictions of processions, bacchanales and charioteers, some of Picassos scenes portray an antique narrative with simple clarity. Others offer a more modern version peopled with Picasso's own mixture of characters, juxtaposing graces with grotesques, or monks with prostitutes in a form of puppet show parody. Whether the aim was deferential or ironic, the use of the chariot as a platform structure clearly appealed to Picasso and suited his idea that his ethcings were a form of theatrical procession.
