Pablo Picasso is regarded as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century and is known for co-founding the Cubist movement. His works often dealt with themes such as love, death, war, and sexuality, and his art was heavily influenced by his personal life and relationships. He had many romantic relationships and marriages throughout his life, and his relationships with women were often the subject of his work.

The piece is framed with an antique hand painted frame, light rosy-toned passepartout, and a background in the same tone.
