Le peintre et son modèle, Picasso, 1926

Reproduction of the painting “the painter and his model” by Picasso in the form of a carpet or large tapestry, woven in wool and cotton.

This work represents an artist, identifiable on the right thanks to his palette, and a woman with a large neck and hands and feet of unequal size. The curved and sinuous design emphasises the complexity of the relationship between the painter and his model. This theme is often found in Picasso’s works where he likes to confront the man with the woman, the painter with the model.

Tapestry woven on Jacquard loom with grey cotton lining. The tapestry was made with the permission of the Picasso Estate, which checks and controls the quality of manufacture, weaving and confection.
