The famous Spanish painter Pablo Picasso painted this portrait with lines and patterns. He only paints what he thinks is the most important part, showing the texture and depth of the picture.

Dora's face is drawn with lines in different directions and densities, some are straight lines and some are curves. The feeling of that big hat is the texture of the sewing material. Picasso may have painted Dora a pair of giant hands, because they left a deep impression on him. Picasso's lines make her hands look like claws.

Picasso drew the qula first, and then hid her behind the chair. The cross pattern on the seat makes it look like wicker, and the lines on the back and legs look like wood grains.

To give people a sense of depth, Picasso covered the background with lines pointing in all directions. Maybe he tried to make it look like a spider pulling a net around Dora to protect her and trap her. Dora looks a bit like a doll sitting in a toy chair. She was staring at something, her arms folded loosely on her chest, which seemed unreal.

Extended data:

Under the gaze of Dora Maar, Picasso finished his masterpiece guernica. Dora Maar also recorded Picasso's creation and life in this period with a camera, leaving precious information for future generations. Later, this couple, who are both very strong in character, gradually developed bad feelings. Picasso left Dora Maar on 1943 and gave her a house in the south of France as a souvenir.

In this photo taken in 1936, Dora Maar stroked her face with his fingers, just like Picasso painted Dora Maar sitting for her in 1937.
