Girl in Profile by Picasso in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, March 2008

Girl in Profile by Picasso in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, March 2008
Pablo Picasso. Spanish, 1881–1973.

Girl in Profile
1901
Oil on cardboard mounted on Masonite

Accession # 1999.363.58

During his second visit to Paris (May 1901-January 1902) Picasso worked in many styles. This painting captures the heavily powdered face of a nighttime habitue of Montmartre in bright electric light, a novelty at the time. The patches of green and black at the upper left are part of an elaborate headdress, visible in the related drawing, Au Moulin Rouge (1901; private collection).
