Opening of the Picasso Museum Paris (Musée national Picasso Paris), located in the Marais Quarter. Paris 1985.

A modernist bronze bust by Pablo Picasso, photographed at the 1985 opening of the Musée national Picasso-Paris in the Marais quarter. The abstract sculpture of a woman is characterized by its exaggerated features: a prominent nose, a smooth, helmet-like hairstyle, and an elongated neck. The piece, with its dark, uneven patina, is presented against a textured wall and rests upon a thick, light-colored stone plinth.
