Woman in White of 1923 by Pablo Picasso

The model is Olga Koklova, and there is softness and refinement in both conception and rendering that differentiates this work from earlier drawing.

She is rendered with a much more delicate line and with less dramatic and forceful color.

Seated in a chair, with her arms crossed on her chest in casual fashion, she looks thoughtfully into the distance.

There is feeling of introspection and isolation about her, as if she exists in her own time and space, emotionally distant from the viewer.

It was painted in 1923. It is one of the best known of his classic period when Picasso made linear paintings of figures with Grecian heads.
