about Olga Picasso

Pablo Picasso's portrait of his first wife Olga shows his muse in a contemplative, thoughtful pose with her hand grazing her jaw and her other arm pulled around her waist.

In this early piece, the artist relies on solid line and shading to create a more naturalistic portrait than is often seen in his later work. Estate of Picasso, (Marina Picasso) pencil signature and embossed blindstamp lower right. Ink stamp verso 'Approved by the heirs of Pablo Picasso'.
