The 1934 Drawing and its Correspondences in Picasso's Oeuvre
The Dream, 1932The left hand figure in the 1934 drawing is very similar to Picasso' s well known painting, "The Dream," of 1932. "The Dream" is perhaps the best known portrait of Picasso's mistress, Marie-Thérèse Walter.
The depictions of the her torso, tilted head and clasped hands in both the works are almost identical. In addition, the painting contains a hidden phallus in the upper part of the sitter's head which recurs as a hidden phallus motif in the face of the right hand figure in the drawing and a number of other hidden phallus motifs elsewhere in the composition.
