In the back ground Picasso creates room’s perspective with coloured horizontal and vertical lines. Also he painted Dora Maar without dimension in his cubism style. He painted her eyes in different directions and colours. On pale background he painted her with black, blue and purple detailed dress that blends with chair. And painted her face with different colours. Her skirt (which merges in a way from background lines) painted reddish colours. Fingernails painted with red polish, the long, graceful hands, the pose, the black hair, the large, dark and staring eyes, the round, wilful chin, and the black, embroidered and laced corsage Picasso’s primary expression of her face is to capture all potential and aspect of her. The cross structures of the chair and of the embroidery, the squared pattern of the skirt, and the vertical and horizontal stripes of the background give the impression of a prison or convent cell, making it seem as if the model were enclosed within the confines of a narrow and cruel mental space She stands dominant and shows herself like she is very comfortable with her posture.
