Do a formal comparison of Raphael’s Portrait of Castiglione (c. 1515) and Picasso’s Woman with a Zither (“Ma Jolie”; winter 1911-12). Describe what you see in both paintings (using terms like line, color, shape, etc.). Don’t be afraid to mull over details, and be as specific as you can (eg. “this mark in this part of the painting…”) After you’ve gathered your observations, use them to answer this question: Which do you think is a stronger engagement with the sitter of the portrait, in other words the person being depicted?
