Two roosters 1905

"Two Roosters" is a 1905 ink and wash drawing by Pablo Picasso, notable for its simple yet expressive lines. This early work showcases Picasso's mastery of capturing the essence of his subject in a minimal form, hinting at the artistic evolution that would define his later, more iconic, works. The use of hatching and wash creates a sense of volume and texture, giving the roosters a tactile presence despite their minimalist representation. This drawing embodies Picasso's early exploration of cubist principles, foreshadowing his groundbreaking contributions to modern art.
