This art piece is called Woman with a Wrist Watch (1932) made by Pablo Picasso, and it was created with oil on canvas. The exhibit that this piece was shocased in was called Picasso's Muses, at the Norton Museum of Art. I was attracted to this art piece because of the history behind it; this art piece depicts Picasso's lover, whom he had a relationship with. The piece seems to be a personal piece, only for the enjoyment of his lover and himself. The composition of this artwork is somewhat bland, but it does show that the focal point is the woman sitting down. Positive asepcts of this piece include the various patterns that are used, the contrast between the foreground and the background and the abstraction of the woman's face.
