Excerpt from the plaque:

Woman with Bangs and Woman in a Blue Shawl, Barcelona 1902:

Painted in Barcelona in 1902, Woman in a Blue Shawl and Woman with Bangs are part of a series of powerful paintings of impoverished women. The subjects all have slumped backs and solemn facial expressions. These paintings show a shift from his previous Saint-Lazare pictures: narrative elements are minimized, and the figures are situated in indistinct spaces; here, Picasso evokes traditional Christian images of the Madonna. While Women in a Blue Shawl has a timeless appearance, Women with Bangs has more modern, naturalistic features such as painted lips and a jaded facial expression.
