The work, Bust of a Woman in a Flowery Hat (Dora Maar), was finished towards the end of the couple's turbulent nine-year relationship and shows Maar in a softer, more colourful light than Picasso's previous portraits of his then lover. Picasso made many paintings of Maar, including the famous, Portrait of Dora Maar and Dora Maar au Chat, but she said of them: All of his portraits of me are lies. They're all Picassos. Not one is Dora Maar.
