Young Man [verso] c. 1906

"Young Man [verso]" is a pencil drawing on paper by Pablo Picasso, created around 1906. The drawing features a quick, gestural style, characteristic of Picasso's early work. The figure is rendered in a simplified, almost abstract manner, focusing on the essential lines and forms of the human body. The subject appears to be a young man, possibly a self-portrait, and the work is a powerful example of Picasso's exploration of form and expression during his early career. This drawing was executed during Picasso's Rose Period, when he favored warmer colors and subjects, often depicting figures in intimate settings.
