Pablo Picasso (1881
- 1973) was a Spanish painter, draughtsman, and sculptor. As one of the most recognized figures in 20th-century art, he is best known for co-founding the Cubist movement and for the wide variety of styles embodied in his work.

during his Rose Period, soon after he settled in the
Montmartre section of Paris, France. The oil on canvas

hand and wearing a garland or wreath of flowers.
