Female Head 1902

"Female Head" (1902) by Pablo Picasso depicts a woman's face, painted in a vibrant blue and green palette, characteristic of Picasso's "Blue Period". The painting is a powerful representation of the melancholic and somber mood that permeated Picasso's art at this time. The woman's downcast eyes and solemn expression, combined with the overall blue tones, convey a sense of loneliness and despair. This work, now housed in the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, showcases Picasso's early mastery of form and emotion, establishing him as a pioneering figure in the development of Modern Art.
