Excerpt.

L'attente (Margot) is one of artworks by Pablo Picasso.

Pablo Picasso L'Attente (The Wait), 1966 showcases a confident, red-lipped woman leaning towards the viewer in this confetti-like print.

In technical terms, Picasso experimented with a style that resembled the Divisionism of Seurat and Signac, and also evoked Van Gogh's thick impasto.

The work The Wait (Margot) is one of these courtesans.

In the work, The Waiting (Margot), Picasso presents a mysterious figure, whose identity is unknown.
