Mujer sentada, Oil painting in Madrid, Spain
Mujer sentada is an oil painting on panel from Madrid that depicts a woman in a party dress. The work combines curved and straight lines with light and shadow effects to create a flattened, almost geometric representation.
The painting was created in 1917 when the artist shifted direction and moved away from more abstract work. This turn toward figure painting marked a significant turning point in his artistic practice.
The painting shows how the artist brought together different painting approaches from European art history into his own visual language. The seated woman in her party dress demonstrates how colors and forms work together to bridge traditional portraiture and modern experimentation.
The work hangs in a museum and can be viewed during regular opening hours. It is worthwhile to allow time to explore the details of the composition and how colors and forms interact throughout the painting.
What sets this work apart is the choice of subject: a party dress with its many folds and color variations offers unusual visual complexity. This stands out from the artist's other portraits, where clothing and accessories are typically less decorative.
