Description
In "The Coronated Woman and the King's Cake," Picasso used Cubist techniques to outline Jacqueline's silhouette: thick eyebrows, bright eyes, and her most iconic long straight nose, creating a graceful sculptural sense; The face is divided into multiple levels, with shadows on the side face and bright and bright parts on the front, adding visual interest; The composition of the painting includes magnificent colors such as pink, emerald, sky blue, and goose yellow, with almost no blank spaces, making the work more delicate and colorful.
In the painting, Jia Guilin wears a crown and holds a king's cake in her hand. King's cake is a traditional pastry in France, usually appearing one or two weeks after Christmas. There is usually a small porcelain statue hidden in the cake, and lucky people who eat the small porcelain statue can become the "king of the day".
This festive intimate detail provides outsiders with the opportunity to glimpse the private lives of the artist and Muse. The lively festive atmosphere is vividly portrayed on paper, making the artwork shape and color.
