Updated August 12, 2026

Title: Woman Seated in a Garden with Dog Technique: Oil on canvas Measures: 31 x 23 inches (78.7 x 58.4 cm) Year: Circa mid-20th century Cubist period Condition: Good condition. Surface presents strong coloration, expressive brushwork, and stable paint application throughout. Minor wear consistent with age and handling. Canvas remains structurally sound and is presented in an ornate gilt frame, ready for display. Provenance: Private collection, USA. Visual Description: This large and visually commanding composition depicts a seated female figure accompanied by a dog within a richly colored garden setting. The figure is constructed through dramatically simplified facial features, angular contours, fragmented planes, and contrasting areas of blue, green, red, black, and white. The surrounding trees and foliage create an energetic backdrop, while the elongated animal and monumental seated figure give the composition a distinctive narrative quality. The bold outlining, unconventional perspective, and expressive treatment of the human form strongly reference the Cubist and later figurative vocabulary associated with Pablo Picasso.This hand-created artwork offers collectors an opportunity to enjoy the visual language, technique, composition, and artistic characteristics associated with the named artist at a substantially more accessible price point than authenticated works by that artist, which may command significantly higher prices in the established fine-art market.
