Woman with Flute (after Picasso)

This item is a vibrant, multi-colored artwork depicting a stylized female figure playing a flute, rendered in a manner highly evocative of Pablo Picasso's Cubist and Surrealist periods, specifically recalling works from the 1930s. The composition features a fragmented yet dynamic portrayal of the subject, with her face divided into distinct planes, one side in a pale green hue and the other in a purplish-grey. Her dark hair or head covering frames the face. The figure's eyes are elongated and almond-shaped, with black outlines. Her lips are a distinct red, slightly parted, with the flute held horizontally across them. The hands, also in pale green, are intricately drawn holding the flute, which is depicted with decorative patterns in white and black outlines. The background is a complex interplay of geometric shapes and abstract forms, dominated by shades of red, orange, purple-grey, and hints of green and yellow. Some areas show textured brushwork or printing effects, suggesting a print or a painting with significant impasto. The colors are rich and saturated, with strong black outlines defining distinct areas, a hallmark of many modern art styles. The overall condition appears good from the image, with no obvious signs of significant damage, tears, or discoloration, though a detailed inspection would be required for a full assessment. The use of bold lines and unconventional color choices, along with the deconstructed facial features, points to a strong influence from 20th-century avant-garde art movements. The craftsmanship is evident in the detailed rendering of patterns on the flute and the careful application of diverse colors.
