Girl in a Chemise by Pablo Picasso (Spanish) - Oil on canvas / c. 1905 - Tate Modern (London, England) #WomenInArt #Picasso #PabloPicasso #art #artText #artwork #Tate #TateModern #PortraitofaGirl #BlueskyArt #ModernArt #OilPainting #chignon #bskyart #artbsky #ArtOfTheDay #TheTate #SpanishArtist

Made in Paris, France as Spanish artist Pablo Picasso moved from his Blue Period to his Rose Period, the sitter appears in a thin white chemise whose strap slides off the near shoulder. Her build is slight and androgynous with a narrow chest, fine jaw, and long neck tapering to a delicate collarbone. Her dark hair is drawn into a low chignon. Her mouth is small, softly red; the eyelid and nose ridge are tenderly modeled. Cool light from the upper left flattens deep shadow, leaving planes of pale peach and cool blue to meet in quiet transitions. Firmer lines beneath her chin and at the temple hint at another figure under the surface that is stronger, sharper, and more boyish like a memory through skin.

This canvas embodies a pivot from melancholy to warmth while keeping Picasso's Blue Period’s restraint. Technical study shows an earlier image, likely of a young saltimbanque (street performer) boy, over which Picasso re-drew, lengthening the neck, refining the jaw, and adding the chignon to transform gender and mood. The result is a poised, ambiguous presence: tender yet reserved, hovering between boy and girl, blue and rose, poverty and poise.

Some identify the sitter as “Madeleine,” Picasso’s companion before Fernande Olivier; others say the evidence is inconclusive. That uncertainty makes this a portrait of becoming rather than being.

In Montmartre around 1904–1905, Picasso pared his means to contour, thin veils of color, and small inflections of mouth and eye. “I paint forms as I think them,” he later said, a line that suits this metamorphosis: one body revised into another by vision and paint.

The painting also reveals the young Spanish artist’s economy and restlessness with one canvas, two lives. The sitter’s identity may be uncertain, but the life around her is not: Picasso, just 23 years old, balancing hunger and ambition, testing how far a line and a wash of blue can carry feeling and how a portrait can hold the trace of who was there before.

O’Keeffe may have created this watercolour for classroom use. The work demonstrates the application of flat, stylized designs of fashion illustration.

In this same period, Vanity Fair published similarly styled illustrations by O’Keeffe, who was searching for additional ways to turn her art skills into income.

"He was by his whole style and nature so much the most deeply 'silent' of the silent comedians that even a smile was as deafeningly out of key as a yell."
