“Femme Dans L’Atelier”, 1956
depicting Jacqueline at the easel in Picasso’s distinct Cubist-derived style, executed in tones of slate blue, teal, black, and white, the composition captures the artist’s mid-century exploration of the artist-and-model theme, with simplified geometric forms and bold contour lines conveying psychological presence and spatial depth
