This colorful, complex portrait of his son Paulo in the costume of a harlequin demonstrates the depth and versatility of Cubism as practiced by Pablo Picasso. Completely reduced to shapes and forms, the face of the sitter is barely recognizable due to the artist's manipulation of perspective and infusion of otherwise unseen views. Estate of Picasso, (Marina Picasso) pencil signature and embossed blindstamp lower right. Ink stamp verso 'Approved by the heirs of Pablo Picasso'.
