Rediscovered Picasso portrait presented in Paris ahead of auction
Oct 24, 2025
A brightly colored 1943 Picasso portrait of his muse and partner Dora Maar, titled Bust of a Woman with a Flowered Hat (Dora Maar), is set to be auctioned in Paris on Friday after more than 80 years out of public view. Painted as their seven-year relationship was nearing its end, the work captures Maar in a vivid floral hat. It was bought in 1944 and has remained in the same family collection ever since. Siobhan Silke reports.
