Exhibition "Pablo Picasso 1969-1970" (Avignon I), Palais des Papes, Avignon, 1.5.-30.9.1970.

A work from the "Pablo Picasso 1969-1970" exhibition, held at the Palais des Papes in Avignon. Mounted against a textured stone wall, this late-period portrait by Picasso depicts a figure with a distorted face rendered in blues, whites, and blacks. The subject, notable for its large asymmetrical eyes and prominent mustache, wears a large white ruff and a colorful doublet. Stylized hands are clasped at the bottom of the canvas, whose vibrant, energetic brushwork contrasts with the rustic setting of the historic palace.
