Sculptor at Rest IV (Le repos du sculpteur IV) 1933

Created in 1933, “Sculptor at Rest IV (Le repos du sculpteur IV)” is a drypoint etching by Pablo Picasso. The image portrays a reclining couple in the foreground. The man, possibly a self-portrait of the artist, wears a wreath and has a thoughtful expression. Behind them is a window revealing a vase with flowers and a landscape. On the right, the bust of a man is placed on a pedestal. Picasso’s characteristic angular lines and simplified forms are evident throughout the artwork. "Sculptor at Rest IV" is a notable example of Picasso's printmaking abilities and captures a moment of introspection and contemplation.
