Condition
The panel is sound. A close inspection reveals a faint vertical hairline fissure in the surface of the panel towards the left edge and three tiny superficial holes towards the lower edge, all original to the panel and visible in the catalogue illustration. There is no evidence of retouching visible under UV light. This work is in very good original condition.

" Le portrait tel que l'entend Picasso fait planer une incertitude sur la notion même d'identité : elle n'est plus fixe, mais sujette aux mutations. Les images et identités des sujets réels de l'artiste, ballottées au gré de sa passion des métamorphoses, ne cessent de se dissoudre et se recomposer."
