$1,299.00

Max Jacob (1915) is a contemplative portrait of Picasso’s close friend, poet and writer Max Jacob. Departing from earlier cubist fragmentation, Picasso opts for a more restrained, neoclassical approach, emphasizing clarity and form. The subject appears introspective, with softened features and calm posture that reflect both personal intimacy and artistic respect.

The muted tones and simplified lines convey quiet dignity, capturing the intellectual depth and spiritual intensity of Jacob. This portrait reveals Picasso’s ability to shift styles while preserving emotional resonance and character insight.
