This expressive pochoir lithograph captures an intimate and contemplative moment between two figures—an asleep male figure and a seated woman beside him, watching over him. Rendered in fluid, free lines and light washes, the composition exudes spontaneity and emotional depth, hallmarks of Picasso’s later works. The gestural quality of the piece adds to its dreamlike atmosphere, reflecting Picasso’s lifelong fascination with themes of love, intimacy, and human connection.
About the Artist:
Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) was one of the most influential artists of the 20th century, known for pioneering Cubism alongside Georges Braque and continuously reinventing artistic expression across multiple styles and mediums. His work spans periods including the Blue, Rose, and later Neo-Classical and Surrealist movements, all of which contributed to his legacy as a master of modern art. Picasso’s ability to convey raw human emotion through minimal yet dynamic lines is exemplified in Homme Couche et Femme Assise, a piece that resonates with both tenderness and mystery.
This limited-edition lithograph is a beautiful example of Picasso’s ability to transform everyday moments into profound artistic statements.
