This striking portrait exemplifies Picasso’s mastery of the linocut technique, a medium he embraced in the late 1950s and early 1960s, pushing its possibilities beyond traditional use.
The composition presents a crowned female head, her face divided into angular, overlapping planes. Picasso’s use of juxtaposed profiles and frontal views recalls his early Cubist experiments, where multiple perspectives coexist in a single image. The sharp black outlines and earthy palette of browns, ochres, and dark greens create a bold, sculptural presence.
The figure’s eyes—wide, searching, and asymmetrical—convey both vulnerability and strength. Her floral crown softens the geometric construction of her features, infusing the portrait with a sense of regality, femininity, and timelessness.
Picasso’s engagement with linocut was transformative. Traditionally used for simple poster printing, the linocut became, in his hands, a vehicle for sophisticated artistic innovation. He pioneered the reduction method, carving, inking, and printing multiple stages from a single block, each stage removing more material. This allowed him to achieve layered colors and depth with remarkable precision.
In Petite Tête de Femme Couronnée, Picasso combines linear clarity with expressive contrasts of color, balancing elegance with raw directness. The textures of carved lines bring vitality to the hair and crown, while the face retains a monumental simplicity.
This work reflects Picasso’s lifelong fascination with the female figure, often elevated to archetypal or symbolic status. The crown transforms the sitter into a universal emblem of womanhood—at once muse, queen, and goddess. The fragmentation of her face invites multiple readings: she is seen both as an individual and as a composite of emotions and identities.
The interplay between strength and delicacy echoes themes found throughout Picasso’s portraits, where personal intimacy is transformed into universal expression.
By 1962, Picasso had fully mastered linocut, producing some of his most iconic prints in this medium. Works such as Petite Tête de Femme Couronnée demonstrate how he brought a painter’s sensibility to printmaking, elevating linocut from a utilitarian technique to a medium of fine art.
The piece embodies Picasso’s genius for reinvention—melding his Cubist legacy with the expressive clarity of line and color, making it one of the most enduring examples of his graphic output.

Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) is one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. As a co-founder of Cubism and a pioneer of modern art, Picasso's legacy spans multiple disciplines—painting, sculpture, drawing, printmaking, and ceramics. Few artists matched his innovation or productivity.
In 1958, at the age of 77, Picasso relocated to the South of France with Jacqueline Roque. No longer working from his Paris studio, he discovered a local printer and began exploring linocut printing—a bold, graphic technique that involves carving designs into linoleum blocks.
Over the next five years, he created more than 100 linocuts, many of which are now considered essential examples of mid-century modern printmaking. The most collectable works include: Portrait of a Woman after Cranach the Younger (1958), Portrait of a Woman in a Hat* (1962) and Still Life with Glass Under the Lamp (1962) which are considered standout examples of Picasso’s linocut and printmaking technique.
Alongside his printmaking, Picasso immersed himself in the world of ceramic, working with the Madoura Pottery studio in Vallauris, he produced over 3,500 ceramic works starting in the mid-1940s. Picasso ceramics range from playful plates and jugs to complex sculptural forms. These works often feature animals, faces, and mythological symbols, executed in a signature style that is unmistakably Picasso.
Today, collectors are increasingly drawn to Picasso ceramics for their charm, provenance, and investment potential. Whether you're looking for editioned ceramics or unique studio pieces, Picasso's ceramic works offer a tangible connection to his genius.
