In the art-filled studio, his companion Jacqueline Roque folds a jacket in the foreground. To her left, the artist, clad in a striped shirt, holds a hand to his chin in a pensive gesture. Sharing the moment in the background are his art dealer, Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler, in a dark suit and bow tie, and his Spanish publisher, Gustavo Gili.
