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

A large painting by Pablo Picasso on display during the exhibition "Pablo Picasso 1969-1970" at the Palais des Papes in Avignon. The Cubist-style work depicts two figures on a vibrant green ground. On the left, a figure with a stark, mask-like face holds a stringed instrument. To the right sits a large, reclining female figure composed of voluminous pink shapes, her distorted face showing multiple perspectives. A small bird is perched on her shoulder. The canvas hangs against a textured stone wall, a tag numbered "151" visible below the corner.
