Pablo Picasso after. — Tête de Femme (Marie-Thérèse)
Pablo Picasso after.

Tête de Femme (Marie-Thérèse)

This 1958 lithograph by Picasso depicts a stylized female head, likely inspired by his muse Marie-Thérèse Walter, rendered in the artist's characteristic Cubist vocabulary of fragmented planes and bold contours. Printed by the renowned Parisian workshop Mourlot on Marais wove paper in an edition of 150, the work demonstrates Picasso's continued exploration of portraiture through the medium of color lithography. The signed and numbered impression presents the subject with flattened spatial perspective and expressive distortion typical of Picasso's post-Cubist period.
