This exquisite portrait, done of Picasso's first daughter, Maya Picasso, exudes
a personal, loving charm in which only a father can relate of his children. A
playful, childlike nostalgia is forever evoked with this work, not only capturing
Maya at age 3, but also capturing a time in Picasso's life in which he was deeply
inspired by his own family. Set against a bright spring green background, Maya
is portrayed here wearing a red and white checkered pinafore, with her hair in
pigtails on either side. The colors in this work are at the forefront of Picasso's
intention here, using incredibly vibrant color combinations that merely enhance
and divulge Maya's own personal character and innocence. Sun yellows, lapis blues,
and brilliant reds are a further testament to Picasso's creativity and innovation.
The grand scale of this portrait cannot be ignored, helping the colors to explode
into our space, allowing Maya's own childlike sentiment to be contagious to all
who view and admire her.

in the lower left margin. Hand signed by Pablo Picasso (1881 - 1973) in pencil
