Created on February 26, 1960, The Foot Bath is a striking example of Pablo Picasso’s mastery of line and gesture in his later years. Executed with bold brushstrokes in India ink, the drawing reduces the figures to their essential forms while retaining an expressive vitality.

The composition depicts two figures: a seated nude woman, monumental in form yet fluidly rendered, tending to the foot of a smaller, bent figure before her. Their interaction suggests intimacy and ritual, evoking themes of care, humility, and human connection. The simplified contours, exaggerated proportions, and interplay of curved and angular lines demonstrate Picasso’s ability to merge spontaneity with deliberate structure.

On the right, a small still life element—a fruit resting on a narrow pedestal—balances the scene and recalls Picasso’s constant dialogue between the human figure and everyday objects. The inscription “26.1.60 II” at the top documents the precise day of execution, underscoring Picasso’s prolific practice of dating his works to mark the evolution of his creative journey.

This drawing exemplifies Picasso’s continual reinvention of classical subjects through modernist abstraction. With minimal means—ink, line, and rhythm—he conveys both the physical and psychological presence of his figures, offering a work that is at once intimate and monumental.
