<p>Laurencin painted this portrait using simplified forms and a limited palette of blue, pink and grey. The artist was part of a group of cubist painters working in Paris around 1911. She chose, however, not to follow the abstracted treatment of the body that many of her cubist friends adopted. This picture was painted in Madrid in 1915. Laurencin moved to Spain with her husband, German painter Otto von Wätjen, following the outbreak of the First World War. It depicts Cecilia, the daughter of the Spanish painter Federico de Madrazo, and the artist herself, shown on the left.</p><p><em>Gallery label, September 2019</em></p>

<p><span>The artist told Frank McEwen in a letter of May 1951 that this picture was painted in Madrid in 1915. Cecilia de Madrazo, a young Spaniard, is the girl with the hat; the other figure is the artist herself, and the dog is her dog, bought from an English sailor at Malaga. Marie Laurencin was staying in Madrid with the Madrazos at the time. As she had married the German painter Otto von Wätjen in 1914, she and her husband were obliged to spend the war years in neutral Spain. </span>
