Portrait of Ambroise Vollard – Pablo Picasso

We paint our hand-painted study of Portrait of Ambroise Vollard to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 8 sizes from 40 × 60 cm to 130 × 180 cm or in a custom size. Before Portrait of Ambroise Vollard is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.
What does Portrait of Ambroise Vollard show?
In Portrait of Ambroise Vollard a face with a high forehead, closed eyes and a beard is built from small planes of brown, grey and golden ochre that break around it like glass. Vollard sold the work of Cézanne and the young Picasso, and Picasso painted him in Analytic Cubism, which is why Portrait of Ambroise Vollard feels both recognisable and broken into pieces.
How is our hand-painted study of Portrait of Ambroise Vollard made?
Our painters paint the study of Portrait of Ambroise Vollard by hand, with brushstrokes of different thickness, separately for every order. We paint in oil or acrylic, depending on the subject and the size, so the surface of Portrait of Ambroise Vollard has a real paint texture that a print does not have. The first photograph shows our finished study of Portrait of Ambroise Vollard framed on the easel, the second photograph shows it from the side, and the third photograph shows the hand-painted face of ochre planes up close. When Portrait of Ambroise Vollard is finished, we photograph it and send you the photo for approval.
