Ambroise Vollard was a critical player in the market of contemporary arts in the early 20th century. An art dealer, a publisher and a collector, he established his famous gallery at Rue Laffitte in Paris to exhibit and to sell works by Van Gogh, Cézanne, Gauguin, Matisse and Picasso who were relatively unknown at that time. Of course, almost all artists for whom he’d once made way to the world of great arts, painted his portraits. Portrait of Ambroise Vollard is one of the main Picasso’s works in the period of so-called analytical cubism. Shattered space around the person is almost fused with him. The palette of the portrait is almost monochrome, only a face with closed eyes is emphasized.

I have a high res version where the 'color' is accurate (not the murky gray-green of yours). I'm never sure if for profit sites like yours just don't get it or just don't care. I'm surprised Picasso's heirs haven't come down on you. I ran a fairly high profile non-profit art history site long ago; they harassed me....Apologies for raining on your parade, but you can and should do better. These ubelievably poor digital images do a disservice both to the art and the artist.'
