For me, this is Picasso at his most introspective, reflective, creative phase demonstrating his love for Claude`s mother and the enduring love for Marie-Therese. 1948 was a pivotal year in Picasso`s developement of intaglio in his paintings and ceramics. Perhaps, one of the happiest times in his life, as shown in Claude`s face and body.

Is the signature in code as fingers on the left hand? What do you think all scholars and theorists out there?

'The painting is certainly impressive, to say the least. But what has always struck me as curious is that none of Picasso's other works from this period are anywhere near as accomplished as this painting. It is a well known fact that at one time it was a common practice in teaching painting, for the master to repaint areas of the student's work. In the case of this painting, I cannot help but wonder how much of it might have actually been painted by Picasso's father.'

'I think, when dealing with an abstract piece, one must take an approach similar to reading. On the right, I can see buildings, a staple of modern life. Warm colours, may indicate heat? There's a curtain on the left harlequin. Now we just have to make sense of it.'
