Picasso Les Deux Tourterelles

14.5 x 12.5 inches. This modernist pen and ink drawing on wove paper features a geometric, cubist-inspired composition of two birds, titled Les Deux Tourterelles Doubles. The work utilizes overlapping red and orange-yellow lines to create a sense of fragmented movement and depth. The drawing is signed in red ink in the lower left corner with a stylized signature that reads Picasso under a horizontal bar, followed by the date 46 and a colon. The paper is mounted with a deep purple mat and housed in a simple silver-toned metal frame. The verso of the frame is a brown cardboard backing secured with screws. Handwritten in pencil in the upper left corner of the cardboard are the notations mw 140 and 850. Based on a visible ruler, the framed dimensions are approximately 14.5 inches wide by 12.25 inches high.
