Seated woman with spelling book 1941

"Seated Woman with Spelling Book" is a 1941 painting by Pablo Picasso, known for its Cubist style. The composition is fragmented, with the woman's figure broken down into geometric shapes and rendered in muted tones. The prominent yellow of the chair and book creates a striking contrast, while the inscription "ABCDEFGH" on the book adds a playful element. Picasso's unique approach to form and color in this work exemplifies his exploration of the human figure during this period.
