Woman with her ​​hair in a small bun 1904

This 1904 portrait by Pablo Picasso, known as "Woman with her hair in a small bun," showcases Picasso's early development of his signature style. It's a prime example of the artist's "Blue Period," a time of somber and melancholic color palettes in his artwork. The painting features a woman with pale skin and a somber expression, depicted in hues of blue and grey, reflecting the mood of isolation and loneliness that characterized this period of Picasso's life. The artist's use of simplified forms and expressive lines are hallmarks of his transition from a more traditional style towards Cubism.
