Did You Know?

Careful analysis of this painting reveals that Picasso used three different sized brushes: a wide one for the background and dress, a narrower one for the hat, and a smaller pointed one for the face.

Description

Pablo Picasso created this portrait of an artist’s model named Jeanne in the spring of 1901, in preparation for his first exhibition in Paris held at the Galerie Vollard where he was able to display more than 65 paintings and drawings. The bold brushwork and lively palette in works such as Woman with a Cape were noted by a contemporary critic who described Picasso’s style as technically brilliant, “lively, precocious.”
