A blue room (A tub)

"A Blue Room (A Tub)" is a 1901 oil on canvas created by Pablo Picasso during his Blue Period. This genre painting depicts a nude woman bending over a bath tub, embodying the somber tones characteristic of Post-impressionism. Infra-red and x-ray scans revealed a concealed portrait of a bearded man beneath the surface, hinting at layers of meaning. Since 1927, the work has been part of The Phillips Collection in Washington D.C., exemplifying Picasso's exploration of emotion and form during a pivotal phase in his artistic development.
