Description
Cubist Couple – two faces in white contours
A composition in the Picasso tradition – two interlocked faces, bright orange and dark brown, bound by thick white contours, over an olive-green hatched ground, with a striped hand across the bottom: the left face is vivid orange-cream, a profile-frontal hybrid with a closed lashed eye and a serene mouth, and the right is dark brown with a grey-mottled cheek.
Technique & Texture
The right face carries a heavy black lash fan over its closed eye and shares the nose line with the left, while a dark hair mass with a swirled bun sits upper right with a white-ringed ear and an earring. This is a hand-painted painting on canvas – a large pale hand with striped fingers spreads across the lower centre, four fingers with orange pads and black chevrons resting on a white fold.
The Motif
A dark brown arm sweeps in from the lower right, and the red zones sit at mid-height – the left shoulder and a red hatched panel at the right middle. An olive-green ground with black comb-hatching surrounds the pair, and the white contours bind the two faces, which share a single gaze.
Styling & Placement
A painting for living rooms, bedrooms and reception areas; the cubist faces draw the eye, the warm colours warm the room. Wall art for lovers of modernist figuration.

Cubist Couple: sizes, hanging and delivery
Cubist Couple is painted in 15 near-square sizes, from 40 x 39 to 200 x 200 cm. The two interlocked faces should measure about two thirds of the furniture beneath: 130 x 125 or 140 x 135 cm over a 200 cm sofa, 110 x 105 or 120 x 120 cm above a bed 160–180 cm wide, and 100 x 100 cm over a 150 cm dining table.
The first photograph shows the painting on a studio easel in an optional thin wooden frame, and the second photograph turns the same canvas at an angle so the light catches its thick white contours. The orange and brown faces are hand-painted, so Cubist Couple is not a print. Choose YES under Stretcher and it arrives stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang; a frame is picked in the Frame menu, which starts at Without frame. Delivery takes 15–45 days.
