Sitting in an armchair, the model in this Pablo Picasso portrait is reduced to a fragmented series of shapes that overlap one another at sharp angles. A classic example of Cubist portraiture, the artist's rendering of the seated woman focuses not on her physical likeness or actual appearance, but on the various manners in which her form can be viewed and segmented according to numerous perspectives. Estate of Picasso, (Marina Picasso) pencil signature and embossed blindstamp lower right. Ink stamp verso 'Approved by the heirs of Pablo Picasso'. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
