This is believed to be the painting of one of Picasso’s lover Dora Maar (photographer). This paiting represents a woman who is weeping all the time. It is a really good example of how much emotion can be revealed on a face. The tears roll down her cheeks changing colour- to a greyish white, which looks almost bone like.

In order to separate the landscapes, Cole uses a diagonal line that runs along edge of the forest, symbolizing the contrasting drama and movement within each piece of land.
