PABLO PICASSO The Friend, 1990

The Friend by Pablo Picasso in 1960, is a portrait that depicts the head of a man wearing glasses and a small hat. This work belongs to Picasso's later period, where he focused more on bold, simplified forms and expressive portraiture. By this time, Picasso had fully developed his iconic, minimalist style, where lines and shapes became essential elements in conveying the character and emotions of his subjects. Presented in a black wood frame with a 1-inch front profile and a 3/4-inch side profile, the artwork is mounted behind a 4-inch mat, creating a refined, gallery-style display.
