The Prado is exhibiting Bust of a Woman by Picasso Monday, July 19, 2021

Dating from 1943, this work is an outstanding example of Picasso’s response to the violence of World War II.

Donated to American Friends of the Prado Museum through the generosity of Aramont Art Collection, the painting is now on display in the gallery 9B devoted to El Greco, together with The Buffoon Calabacillas by Velázquez, two of the artists who most influenced Picasso’s work.
