A Pablo Picasso linoblock in the garden of linoprinter Arnéra. Vallauris 1960.

A linoblock by Pablo Picasso rests in the Vallauris garden of linoprinter Arnéra, 1960. The carved artwork is a stylized Cubist portrait of a head in profile, notable for its large, front-facing eye. The entire surface features intricate textures created by fine parallel lines, cross-hatching, and short gouges that define the features and background. In the upper right corner, the date "24.11.59." is carved into the design, which highlights the deep contrast between the recessed, pale lines and the dark, raised surfaces that would receive ink.
