Lola 1899

This charcoal and pastel drawing titled "Lola" was created by the renowned Spanish artist Pablo Picasso in 1899. The artwork depicts a woman, perhaps Lola, with a somber expression, seated in a dimly lit interior. Picasso, known for his groundbreaking work in Cubism, captures the subject's form through loose lines and muted colors, revealing a style that predates his most famous movement. The piece exemplifies his early exploration of figurative art, as he transitions from a more traditional aesthetic towards his later revolutionary artistic vision.
