Conservation/ Treatment History
Description: The primary intent of
the 2004 treatment was to remove discolored coatings
and retouchings from the 1950 and 1963 treatments
and to eliminate the adhesive residue on the surface
of the painting that remained from the earlier lining.

Descriptive Note
Text: In this epoch-making work, which
prefigured Cubism, Picasso amalgamated the simplified
iconic forms with Cézanne's reduction of the
underlying structure of natural forms. The artist
modeled several faces on African masks and iconic
Iberian forms.
