He was associated with two muses who had a profound influence on him, namely, Mary-Therese Walter and Dora Maar. These two surging passions gave birth to the most innovative and breakthrough works in Picasso's artistic career.

The head of the woman in the hat was preserved by Picasso for more than 30 years until 1973, which proved its importance. We are very much looking forward to presenting this wonderful masterpiece to collectors.

This painting reflects the turbulent period of Picasso's life-his mother died in June 65438 +0939+10, and the political situation in Europe has undergone tremendous changes, especially in his native Spain. However, this experience also gave birth to Picasso's most innovative painting style.

Picasso could not return to Spain, but stayed in France, facing the advance of the German Nazis. At that time, he was in contact with Mary Teresa and Doramar. They are very different in temperament and appearance, but they have entered Picasso's life and works one after another. The heads of women in hats reflect their influence on artists of the same period.

Although many characteristics of the people in the painting point to Mary Teresa, such as supple blonde hair and overall bright and soft colors, Mar's shadow has quietly infiltrated into it.

Unlike other portraits of Mary Teresa, the head of a woman in a hat is a vivid and three-dimensional painting by Picasso. The lines were cut away from the heavy oil paint, and her face became more three-dimensional. Mar's face also occupies the focus of the picture, competing with Mary Teresa.

Although the hat may be very important to the people in the painting at that time, its meaning was later interpreted. In Picasso's portraits, Omar often wears fashionable hats. These hats are too fancy for Mary Teresa, but the hat in this painting crowns her as the Virgin, and is also the opponent of her new rival, Mal.
