Brightly colored with pastel pinks, lime greens, and navy blues, the composition is enclosed within a bright, sunny yellow border against a muted grey background.The curly hair, colorful detail of the face and eyes, and even the abstract rendition of the hand and pipe all celebrate Picasso's unique and astounding ability to create whimsical yet innovative works.
