About This Work
Woman with a Flower depicts Marie-Thérèse Walter holding a flower, her rounded, sensuous forms rendered in the warm palette of Picasso's 1932 series. The painting has a quality of tender celebration — the flower a symbol of Marie-Thérèse's youth and beauty. The composition is one of the most balanced and harmonious of the 1932 works.
Painted in 1932, Woman with a Flower belongs to the extraordinary series of works that Picasso made of Marie-Thérèse Walter in the spring and summer of that year. The series — which includes La Lecture and Girl Before a Mirror — represents the peak of Picasso's Surrealist period.
