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

A late-period painting by Pablo Picasso, photographed during the exhibition of his recent work at the Palais des Papes in Avignon in 1970. The vibrant, abstract portrait depicts a figure in historical attire, its Cubist-style face rendered in black, white, and gray. Clad in a boldly striped red and yellow garment and wearing a string of pearls, the subject grips the hilt of a sword. The artist's loose, energetic brushwork is evident, and the date "23.7.69" is inscribed in the upper left corner of the canvas.
