Label TextTête de femme comes from a series of paintings Pablo Picasso created between 1901 and 1904, notable for their muted blue palette. Picasso was active in both Paris and Spain during this time, working on what is now referred to as his Blue Period. Here, Picasso used dark, bold lines to distinguish the figure’s silhouette from the background.

En esta obra, Picasso utiliza líneas oscuras y atrevidas para distinguir la silueta de la figura del fondo.
