Spaniard 1906

"Spaniard" (1906) is a portrait by Pablo Picasso, showcasing his transition into a more expressive and less representational style. Created during his Rose Period, the artwork depicts a young woman with simplified features and a strong emphasis on form and color. The use of bold strokes and simplified shapes is characteristic of Picasso's early work, reflecting his exploration of primitivism and the influence of Iberian art. The painting's earthy tones and the figure's melancholic gaze evoke a sense of introspection and the artist's growing interest in the human condition.
