“Blue Boy” After Picasso – Framed Blue-Period Portrait Painting, 18" x 15"

A soulful Blue-Period portrait inspired by Pablo Picasso’s 1901 study of a young man in muted teal and olive tones. Executed on textured board and framed in a deeply carved oak frame, the piece captures the quiet introspection and limited palette that define Picasso’s early Paris years. A subtle signature lower right indicates it is a mid-century reproduction created in homage to the master.
