Pablo Picasso

Modèle accoudé sur un tableau (Model Leaning on a Table), plate 43, from La suite Vollard

A masterful etching from Picasso's celebrated Vollard Suite, this work depicts a nude model resting her arms upon a table, rendered with the artist's characteristic economy of line and sensual precision. The composition reflects Picasso's deep engagement with the classical theme of the artist and model, exploring the tension between observer and subject with fluid, confident strokes. Printed on Montval paper with watermark, the work exemplifies the technical refinement and intimate eroticism that define this landmark series of prints created between 1930 and 1937.
