About Woman with a Dog

“Woman with a Dog” is an artwork created by Francis Picabia between 1924 and 1926. The piece, executed in oil on cardboard, measures 68.5 by 94 cm and belongs to the Surrealism art movement. Characterized by its figurative genre, the painting distinctively reflects the surrealist style prevalent during the early 20th century.

The artwork depicts a woman reclining alongside a dog, both rendered with abstract and somewhat distorted features. The woman’s body is adorned with circular patterns, giving an otherworldly impression. The elongated and exaggerated face of the woman further accentuates the surrealism inherent in the artwork. The dog, a companion in this enigmatic scene, appears harmoniously incorporated into the woman’s form, emphasizing the dream-like and imaginative quality of the piece. The background presents a subdued, yet evocative landscape composed of soft, pastel hues, which enhances the surreal and contemplative atmosphere of the composition.
