This study is one of hundreds Picasso made for Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907; Museum of Modern Art, New York) and corresponds with the nude on the far left of the final composition. Here, the figure's rigid posture and strict profile, delineated with crude black contour, contrast with the dynamic mark-making in the patterned curtain at left, while the juxtaposition of peach and deep salmon tones in the body shows Picasso experimenting with a disjunctive approach to form.
