Portrait of Marie-Thérèse Walter with garland 1937

This portrait, painted in 1937 by Pablo Picasso, depicts Marie-Thérèse Walter, the artist's muse and lover. Walter is portrayed with a garland of flowers, a recurring motif in Picasso's work that symbolizes youth, beauty, and femininity. The simplified forms and bold colours are characteristic of Picasso's Cubist style, which he developed in the early 20th century. The portrait is a testament to Picasso's enduring fascination with Walter, who inspired some of his most iconic works. The artwork measures 61 x 46 cm. This intimate portrait of Marie-Thérèse Walter captures the essence of Picasso's artistic style during his "classical" period.
