about Tete de Femme en Gris et Rouge sur Fond Ochre

Rendered in bold hues of red and mustard with shading in black, this Pablo Picasso portrait relies on thick, dark lines to shape the face of the woman shown.

Accented by the flowing red and even pops of off-white, the lack of true perspective in the piece is underminded by the artist's invention of new viewpoints combined together. Estate of Picasso, (Marina Picasso) pencil signature and embossed blindstamp lower right. Ink stamp verso 'Approved by the heirs of Pablo Picasso'.
