Sourced Overview Evidence

This three-quarter length portrait belongs to a series of works Pablo Picasso created in the early 1920s, that presented women with idealized proportions based on French classical art - a departure from his fragmented cubist style. With the trauma of World War I, a way of life ended in France, setting off a more reserved cultural climate. This shift manifested itself in a call for return to the French art's classical roots. Lifelike drawing and harmonious compositions were favored over radical approaches. Picasso's source of inspiration for this painting may have been Sara Murphy, an American socialite. She and her husband Gerald, a painter and businessman, formed a charismatic duo at the center of an international circle of artists, writers, musicians, and dancers in Paris and Cap d'Antibes.
