The 1934 Drawing and its Correspondences in Picasso's Oeuvre
The Vollard Suite
Many of the engravings in the "Vollard Suite", and a
range of Picasso's other pictures from the same period, depict a vase of
flowers.
This motif is also present in the 1934 drawing where it has been
ingeniously disguised and incorporated laterally into the arm of the female
on the right.
The symbolism of flowers, according to the Picasso scholar
Eberhard Fisch (in a letter to the author, dated 1993), refers to the short lived beauty of woman, and by
implication, the fleetingness of love itself.
