1905
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Bust of a Man is a 1905 by Pablo Picasso, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a man’s head and shoulders turned slightly to the side. The lines are loose and busy, especially around the hair and neck, making the face look almost three-dimensional. The paper is light, and the drawing is in black ink or pencil. The top left corner has the name *Picasso* and the date *2-05*, which might mean February 1905. The artist seems to be working fast, with quick strokes instead of careful details. Check out Pablo Picasso for more sketches like this.
Pablo Ruiz Picasso (25 October 1881 – 8 April 1973) was a Spanish painter and sculptor who spent most of his adult life in France.
