Femme au grand nez, en raccourci, sur un lit (Woman with Big Nose, in Foreshortening, on a Bed), plate 139 from Séries 156 (Bl. 1993, Ba. 2003)
This bold etching by Pablo Picasso depicts a reclining female figure rendered in his characteristically expressive and distorted style, with an exaggerated, prominent nose serving as a focal point of the composition. The foreshortened perspective creates a dynamic sense of depth, while Picasso's masterful linework conveys both the intimacy of the subject and his playful manipulation of form. Part of the late and prolific *Séries 156*, this work demonstrates the artist's enduring creative vitality and his lifelong fascination with the female figure.
