L'homme au chien (Man with Dog) is a small 1914 etching whose title sets a human figure and animal companion in relation. Its compact format and etched line suit the visual shorthand associated with Picasso’s Synthetic Cubist years, while the direct SFMOMA record grounds the work in printmaking rather than a later painting or drawing attribution.
SFMOMA catalogs L'homme au chien (Man with Dog) as a 1914 etching measuring 27.7 × 21.8 cm. The work entered the museum in 1993 as the Bequest of Dean Barnlund (accession 93.170). Its record carries a copyright notice for the Estate of Pablo Picasso / Artists Rights Society, so the catalog uses source-linked, rights-aware image handling instead of an unverified reproduction.
