The architecture of the weeping woman's face is very distinctive and shares many design elements with the four female figures depicted in "Guernica". The face is portrayed from mixed viewpoints, with the nose in profile, the mouth shown in three-quarters view and the eyes viewed from the front. This treatment of the face is echoed in the faces of the "Guernica" women. However, "The Weeping Woman" is distinct from these figures in the way that Picasso used cubist forms of fragmentation to depict the face in a series of angular planes, rather than the flat, curvilinear images in "Guernica".
