Le Repos (Rest)

Depicts a serene, sleeping woman: The painting captures a close-up of a reclining woman, her head resting on her hand in a peaceful and relaxed pose.
Portrait of Picasso's muse, Marie-Thérèse Walter: Like many of his works from this period, Le Repos features Picasso’s lover and muse, Marie-Thérèse Walter. Her distinct features, such as her blonde hair and rounded face, are rendered with great tenderness.
Lush and vibrant palette: The artwork employs warm tones of red, pink, and yellow, contrasted with cool blues and greens. These colors evoke a sense of intimacy, tranquility, and sensuality.
Flowing lines and soft, rounded forms to evoke the tenderness and calm of the subject rather than striving for photographic realism.
