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

A painting by Pablo Picasso from his 1969–1970 exhibition at the Palais des Papes in Avignon. Hung against a wall of light-colored stone blocks, the unframed canvas depicts two abstracted figures in a passionate embrace. Their intertwined, biomorphic forms are rendered primarily in white, grey, and black, featuring multiple stylized eyes and large, expressive hands. A small tag numbered "117" is affixed to the wall below the composition.
