The Mountains of Cartagena

This early oil painting by Pablo Picasso, created in 1895, portrays a serene mountain scene with a rustic stone house and rugged peaks in the background. Reflecting Picasso’s naturalistic style during his formative years, the piece showcases detailed brushwork and a mastery of light and shadow. With a compelling provenance tracing back to Romanian art collector Niculae Teodorescu and Parisian dealer Ambroise Vollard, it holds significant historical and artistic value.
