Description:
Executed in the manner of Pablo Picasso, this evocative oil on board echoes the aesthetic of the artist’s renowned Blue Period (1901–1904). The painting portrays a solemn male figure seated at a table, his head resting on his left hand while his right hand holds a cup. The melancholic expression and introspective pose are hallmarks of Picasso’s emotionally charged works from this period, which often depicted themes of isolation, hardship, and human fragility.

With its subdued blue tones and intimate composition, this piece captures the essence of Picasso’s early exploration of mood and psychological depth. The use of shadow and soft gradations of color enhances the figure’s contemplative state, drawing the viewer into the subject’s quiet moment of introspection.
