"The Dream" (1932) is perhaps the best known portrait of Picasso's mistress, Marie-Therese.


You must have noticed that the girl was painted to have six fingers. Picasso (1882-1973) did it on purpose, instead of inadvertently. Because Picasso often adopted "the beauty of asymmetry" during his creation process, which made his works full of interest and information.


Many experts say that Picasso and Marie are integrated in this painting, in "dream". In other words, Picasso is also in this painting. Have you found him out? :)
Well, the answer is -- red chair and the hand in different color form an image of Picasso. Amazing painting & smart painter, right?
