This painting is <strong>an unpublished portrait of Dora Maar<\/strong>, whose real name was Henriette Theodora Markovitch (1907-1997),<strong> a French artist and photographer, best known for having been the muse and companion of Pablo Picasso in the 1930s and 1940s.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>The auctions on October 24, 2025<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This portrait is distinguished from other representations of Dora Maar by its bright color palette and its more soothing tone. <strong>Unlike the darker works of this period<\/strong>, such as La Femme qui pleure, this painting presents <strong>a softer and melancholic Dora Maar<\/strong>, with a richly decorated floral hat. The painting is part of <strong>one of the 28 portraits of a woman in a hat that the artist painted during the year 1943<\/strong>. It is signed, dated &#8220;July 11, 1943&#8221; on the back, and bears the reference &#8220;CH 44&#8221; from the Zervos catalog.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Bust of a woman with a flower hat has now left the family home (wishing to remain anonymous) which had preserved it for several decades. The work has been <strong>validated by the Picasso Committee<\/strong>, guaranteeing its authenticity. It will be<strong> visible for three days starting from October 21, 2025<\/strong>. It is therefore the first time that the public can appreciate this painting. Or even acquire it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/magazine.luxus-plus.com\/en\/a-nugget-of-picasso-never-unveiled-is-presented-at-auction\/\">Click here to read the full article<\/a> on Luxus Magazine.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Featured photo : \u00a9 Succession Picasso 2025<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Great event in the calendar of art.
