Resting in an armchair, the woman dressed in vibrant red appears fragmented and angular due to the artist's reduction of her figure into geometric forms. Pablo Picasso's portrayal of the woman is viewed from multiple perspectives, refuting the tenents of traditional Western portraiture and instead focusing on the planes of the subject's dimensionality instead. A lithograph from the Marina Picasso Estate Collection after an original work by Pablo Picasso. In the 1970's after Picasso's death, Marina Picasso, his granddaughter, authorized the creation of this lithograph by Laurent Marcel Salinas, who worked closely with Picasso during his lifetime. The limited edition print run was completed and published by Marina Picasso in conjunction with Jackie Fine Arts between 1979 and 1982. The lithograph is printed on French Arches paper, ink-stamped by the Estate verso, and hand-signed by Marina Picasso on the recto. The embossed seal of the Estate is lower right and the printer's chop, lower left. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
