The clip features his famous "Portrait of a Young Girl."


Born in Málaga, Spain, under intense light and shadow, Picasso's style evolved throughout his life, leaving behind works across diverse fields. His prolific output defied convention, his passionate engagement in political activities, and his vulnerability in loving and losing womenMontblanc has encapsulated his journey, a symbol of the tumultuous 20th century, within a single fountain pen.

The cap is themed around Picasso's iconic work, "Portrait of a Young Girl." This instantly recognizable profile forms a distinctive clip, and a comment written by Picasso himself in his unique script about the "Portrait of a Young Girl" is also engraved.

Removing the cap reveals a simple body shaped like a pencil. The barrel end features red stripes, the national color of Picasso's beloved homeland, Spain, creating a striking contrast with the deep black lacquer finish of the body. Furthermore, the 18-karat gold nib, rhodium-plated, is adorned with a sketch of his famous "Ojo" (Spanish for eye), seemingly gazing at the owner as they write.

From its bold and unique design to the meticulously crafted details, Picasso's spirit is revived through Montblanc's craftsmanship and passion. This is a rare piece, with only 91 available, where the fountain pen itself is a work of art.
