This painting is a symbolic representation of the act of creation and a major theme in Picasso's work.The artist is on the right side with his painting palette with his head doubled and figures totally disorganized, especially the eyes. The model is on the left and is simplified to a tiny head with a long neck, and hands of different sizes and a huge foot. In the background the viewers can see the side of the canvas and a small picture showing a lunar head. In this painting Picasso inaugurates his extreme transformations of the female body by altering its proportions through striking inversions of perspective.
