This portrait depicts Jacqueline Roque (1927–1986), Picasso’s second wife, whom he represented frequently. They were married from 1961 until Picasso’s death in 1973 and, during this time, Roque supported his art and ran his household. Roque characterized their intimate connection: “Pablo is the very essence of care, tenderness, and generosity. How lucky I was that my marriage with Hutin [her first husband] did not succeed, otherwise, I should have missed out on life.”
