On the frontispiece of "Pablo Picasso - Portraits et souvenirs," Pablo Picasso has personalized a copy for his friend Edward Quinn. Using vibrant wax crayons, he drew a whimsical profile portrait of the book's author, Jaume Sabartés, distinguished by thick, yellow-orange glasses. Picasso added the dedication "pour mon ami Edward Quinn" and signed and dated his colorful intervention "Picasso 20.11.59." The book was written by Sabartés and first published in 1946.
