about Femme Couchee

Reclining with her arms above her head, the nude model in this Pablo Picasso portrait appears fragmented due to the artist's manipulation of perspective and dimension.

His depiction of light and shadow further emphasize the untraditional dimensional aspects of the work, while his rendering of her face and torso clearly show the artist's amalgamation of viewpoints altogether. Estate of Picasso, (Marina Picasso) pencil signature and embossed blindstamp lower right. Ink stamp verso 'Approved by the heirs of Pablo Picasso'.
