Masterpiece by the Spanish painter Pablo Picasso, the painting portrays a group of nude women disregarding spaces and depths, focusing instead on the two-dimensional image. The painting is considered the root of the later Cubist style. Some experts claim that the aesthetic foundation of the composition was inspired by the painting "Opening of the Fifth Seal" by El Greco (1614).
