A Portrait
1921

A cubist-style painting depicting a figure with geometric shapes and fragmented lines in a palette of red, black, white, and gray tones. The figure's face is split into light and dark halves, with one eye closed, and the lips are detailed in red. The background features angular, intersecting lines and planes, creating a dynamic and abstract composition.
