Analytical Cubism is one of the two major branches of the artistic movement of Cubism and was developed between 1908 and 1912. In contrast to Synthetic cubism, Analytic Cubists "analyzed" natural forms and reduced the forms into basic geometric parts on the two-dimensional picture plane. Color was almost non-existent except for the use of a monochromatic scheme that often included grey, blue and ochre. Instead of an emphasis on color, Analytic cubists focused on forms like the cylinder, sphere and the cone to represent the natural world. During this movement, the works produced by Picasso and Braque shared stylistic similarities.

Analytic cubism is the first form of cubism; it was developed by Picasso and Braque between the years 1908 through 1912. Both painters Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque moved toward abstraction, leaving only enough signs of the real world to supply a tension between the reality outside the painting and the complicated meditations on visual language within the frame, exemplified through their paintings Ma Jolie (1911), by Picasso and The Portuguese (1911), by Braque.

Picasso is widely regarded as a co-founder of the Cubism movement, but is also recognized for the wide variety of styles which embodied his work.

Picasso's works are categorized into periods. The dates of different periods are sometimes debated, however, the most commonly accepted sequence is the Blue (1901-1904) and Rose (1905-1907) Periods, followed by the Protocubism (1908-1909), Analytical Cubism (1909-1912) and Synthetic Cubism (1912-1919) Periods.
