Portrait of Jacqueline Roque by Picasso – Stylized Profile Portrait Throw Blanket

This portrait by Pablo Picasso depicts Jacqueline Roque, his last wife and muse. The painting is executed in Picasso’s distinctive style, characterized by simplified forms, bold lines, and a flattened perspective. Jacqueline is shown in profile, with a long neck and stylized features. She wears a patterned dress with black, yellow, and white elements, and her hand rests on her lap. Behind her, a window or open space reveals a blue background with white floral or cloud-like forms. The use of vibrant colors, particularly the red of the background and the blue of the “window,” creates a striking contrast. The painting captures Jacqueline’s characteristic elegance and poise while also showcasing Picasso’s unique approach to portraiture.
