Analysis
Femme assise aux bras croisés depicts a woman with her arms folded, staring into nothingness. The negative body language of folded arms immediately closes her off from analysis rather cleverly. In effect, the viewer's eye rests on the composition of the image.
The use of blue dominates the canvas, connoting a sense of sadness, mystery, and evokes intrigue. Through using a dominating color on canvas with little emphasis on any other, Picasso is able to create many emotions simply by the tone of his image. This coupled with the expression of the woman and her body language, all connote a sense of mystery and intrigue.
Provenance
The painting has an impressive provenance, having been owned by Gertrude Stein and later sold at Christie's in 1973. It is now part of the permanent collection of the Currier Museum of Art in Manchester, New Hampshire, USA.
