Created after the original work "Tête de femme" by the Spanish painter Pablo Picasso, this sculpture uses the illusionist colours, reliefs and materials of the painting.
Erected on a metal frame not far from the Grandes Platières cable car and the Totem Friendly Hôtel & Spa, this work in composite panels stands out against the silhouettes of the surrounding fir trees. This painted sculpture was donated by the Scaler Foundation, a deposit of the Musée National d'Art Moderne.
