Pablo Picasso drawing on paper (In the style of): Madre del Artista, 1896........... Measures: 21 x 29.5 cms……... This item will sell as "in the style of". "In the style of" works points out an influence of the style of the named master artist, but with the connotation that the named creator had little or nothing to do with the actual work at hand. (Source: Cataloging Cultural Objects,2006).……. In 1896, Picasso made numerous portraits of the members of his family. The father, mother and sister become regular models. One of the most beautiful portraits is the one dedicated to his mother, María Picasso López, with whom he will always be very close. It did not take long for the maternal surname to prevail, until it became the sole signature in most of his works. Like most of the drawings from his youth, this one follows the currents of the sensibility of the time and the aesthetic notions that guide him throughout the years of academic learning. The portrait captures the moment in which the mother, in profile, rests half asleep, with her head slightly tilted forward and her eyes closed, recreating a placid atmosphere.
