The artwork ships framed and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. \n\nCreated in 1967, Pablo Picasso’s \"Painter and Model with a Bow in Hair (B.1161)\" explores one of the most enduring subjects of his career: the relationship between artist and model. Returning repeatedly to the studio throughout his life, Picasso transformed this traditional art historical theme into a deeply personal examination of creativity, observation, desire, and the act of making art itself.\n\nThe composition establishes an intimate encounter between two figures. At left, the painter sits before his easel, palette and brush in hand, absorbed in his work. Opposite him, a nude woman reclines comfortably, distinguished by the playful bow in her hair. Her relaxed pose contrasts with the concentrated activity of the painter, establishing a visual dialogue between looking and being looked at, creator and subject. Picasso’s expressive line gives both figures an immediate, animated presence, while the aquatint introduces areas of tonal depth that enrich the intimacy of the scene.\n\nThe painter and model carries a long tradition within European art, yet for Picasso it became increasingly significant in his later years. Rather than concealing the process behind a finished image, he makes artistic creation itself the subject. The easel, brush, and palette emphasize the physical act of painting, while the model exists simultaneously as a woman within the studio and as an image being translated into art.\n\n\"Painter and Model with a Bow in Hair (B.1161)\" exemplifies the extraordinary vitality of Picasso’s late graphic work. Playful yet introspective, the print brings the viewer directly into the artist’s studio, transforming a private creative exchange into a compelling meditation on the relationship between artist, subject, and image.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pablo Picasso","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67660616958269,"sku":"AQPIC1161SB","price":28850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1551\/3581\/files\/AQPIC1161SB__P-Image_Painter_and_Model_with_a_Bow_in_Hair_1967_AQPIC1161SB_NU0044_sm_ed_bl_50c3a47a-2a88-43d7-9613-0a1fb50aec74.jpg?v=1791574439","url":"https:\/\/martinlawrence.com\/products\/painter-and-model-with-a-bow-in-hair-b-1161-1967","provider":"Martin Lawrence Galleries","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
