Woman with raven 1904

"Woman with Raven" is a 1904 oil on canvas painting by Pablo Picasso, a prominent figure in the early 20th-century art movement known as Cubism. This artwork showcases the artist’s transition from his earlier Blue Period characterized by melancholic themes to a more expressive style. The painting's muted colors, expressive brushstrokes, and the woman's melancholic pose contribute to its somber atmosphere. The painting's composition is notable for its simple, yet striking portrayal of a woman, possibly a self-portrait, with a raven in the background.
