Portrait of a tailor Soler 1903

"Portrait of a Tailor Soler" is an oil painting created in 1903 by Pablo Picasso. The work is a portrait of a tailor, Soler, and depicts him seated with a pipe in his hand. Picasso's use of color in the painting is particularly striking. The work is known for its use of cool blue tones, with a dark blue background and the subject's face and clothing rendered in a pale, almost ethereal blue. The painting is characteristic of Picasso's early Blue Period, which lasted from 1901 to 1904, a period in which the artist explored themes of poverty and social isolation.
