La Grande Margot 1951

"La Grande Margot" is a 1951 lithograph by French artist Fernand Léger, known for his Cubist and Constructivist influences. The work features a simplified, stylized portrait of a woman, her face framed by two hands, one touching her chin, the other covering her mouth. The bold black lines and contrasting colors characteristic of Léger's style create a strong visual impact, emphasizing the geometric forms and flat planes of the composition. The piece is a striking example of Léger's exploration of the human figure and its relationship to space and form.
