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

A cubist-style painting by Pablo Picasso, displayed on a textured block wall during his 1970 exhibition at the Palais des Papes in Avignon. The canvas features two intertwined nude figures rendered in shades of grey, white, and black. Their distorted, multi-perspective bodies are locked in a passionate embrace against a dark background accented with expressive green brushstrokes. A small white label with the number "116" is visible on the wall next to the artwork.
