Man with cane


Picasso paid attention to detail in the academic painting of a man from the rear.
Note the careful shading and shadows, as well as the back of the head.

  1. Lovely. Great back detail. I know many artists tend to avoid back. Also nice slightly lopsided hips due to...yup stabilising the pose. The hand on the hip and use of short pole makes for a stronger stance thereby a longer pose.

    2. Cool, pleasure. I do hope others try the pose too.

  2. I was so taken by the light and body that I didn't even notice the cruciform element. Thanks for making me take another look!
