Head of a woman

"Head of a Woman" is an oil-on-canvas portrait by Pablo Picasso, created in 1939. It depicts Dora Maar, his companion, capturing her likeness with characteristic Cubist influences rooted in Surrealism. This artwork is notable for its expressive, fragmented depiction of the woman’s face, blending different perspectives and emphasizing emotional depth. Picasso donated it to Greece in tribute to their resistance during WWII. After periods of exhibition and theft, the piece was recovered in 2021, maintaining its significance as both a personal and political statement.
