Pablo Picasso's manipulation of perspective is apparent in this portrait of a woman sitting in an armchair, in which the artist has rendered her from three different viewpoints. Incorporating thick curving lines, the artist not only depicts the figure from head-on but also shows her in profile twice with each side of her face visible at once. Estate of Picasso, (Marina Picasso) pencil signature and embossed blindstamp lower right. Ink stamp verso 'Approved by the heirs of Pablo Picasso'.
