Between January 1938 and November 1939 Picasso painted fourteen portraits of Maya – the most important series Picasso devoted to one of his children, in which his joy as a father finds poignant expression in his joy as an artist.

“In his portraits of Maya, Picasso reached for his most joyful, brightly coloured palette, and employed a combination of styles to elevate his daughter to the same level as his paintings of her mother, Marie-Thérèse – the artist’s greatest love, with whom we associate his most romantic pictures. There is a continued strong demand for paintings from the 1930s, and a work of this calibre is made even more remarkable for not having appeared on the market in almost a quarter of a century.”

Pablo Picasso (Spanish, ) • Woman in a Red Armchair • 1931 • MoMA, New York City

In my opinion the style of this painting is both surrealism and cubism. There are paintings from this period that blur the distinction and I believe this one of them.
More importantly (to me anyway) are the symbols that identify, and history show, this portrait as that of Marie-Thérèse Walter, Picasso's young mistress. She was just seventeen when their affair commenced. Picasso painted this on Christmas day in 1931, when he was still married to and living with Olga Khokhlova. The smudged brushstrokes could possibly be a reflection of the tension Picasso was feeling between his marriage and his affair. The heart protruding from the neck signifies that Marie-thérèse is the woman he loves. The heart is a rare sentimental flourish in Picasso's oeuvre.

Four years later, Picasso and Olga separated. At that time the affair with Marie-Thérèse also ended. Despite having a daughter, Maya, together, Picasso left her for the artist Dora Maur. As was the case with Picasso, his interest in women waned and he moved on to his next conquest. In 1977, after Picasso's death, Marie-Thérèse killed herself.
