PICASSO interest,
Art Deco interesting wall paneling of carved olive wood with the Greece mythological subject of: PENELOPE weaving on a loom.
The carving in the olive wood is in the technique of Lino / wood block carving.
Interesting is to see that Pablo Picasso ( 1881-1973 ) has also carved Greece
mythological subjects in the lino / wood block technique and in the same style as our paneling which dates from circa: 1920/50 southern Europe.

Measurement of the 6 wall panels together: 272cm wide, 188cm high.Penelope is the wife of Odysseus who waits for him at home during the Trojan War and the period that Odysseus lives with Circe. Penelope descends from the Spartan Greeks and was known for her weaving skills. During Odysseus' absence, she kept candidates for her hand at bay by promising that she would choose a new partner when her weaving was finished. To avoid having to choose, she took out the newly woven piece every night. Together with Odysseus she had a son: Telemachus.
