Mandora (originally titled La Mandore) a 1909–10 oil painting by French artist Georges Braque, acknowledged as a masterpiece of analytical cubism and exhibited at the Tate Modern gallery in London.
It presents a string instrument, the mandora, and its subject is typical of the Cubist painters interest in the depiction of musical instruments. Braque explained his own interest: "In the first place because I was surrounded by them, and secondly because their plasticity, their volumes, related to my particular concept of still life".[1]
