NOTES
A nude woman shakes a tambourine in her left hand and dances to the rhythmic, jingling sound. Pablo Picasso depicted the woman’s facial features and body parts from multiple perspectives simultaneously, demonstrating the continued influence of Cubism on his work.
In this print Picasso portrayed Dora Maar, a photographer who was a lover and muse for the artist in the late 1930s. She appears as a bacchante or female follower of Bacchus, the ancient Roman god of wine and pleasure. Often these followers are represented as revelers dancing and playing tambourines.
