About the piece

Painted in 1912, this landmark work by Juan Gris is one of the most significant portraits of the Analytic Cubist movement. It depicts Pablo Picasso not as a literal likeness, but through a structured system of overlapping planes and facets, capturing the subject holding a palette. The harmonious palette of cool blues and warm earth tones makes it a striking and intellectual addition to any modern space.
