Picasso’s Late-Period Mastery in La Flûte Double
This evocative lithograph with pochoir, Jacqueline en Espagnole, from the La Flûte Double portfolio (1967) captures an intimate portrait of Pablo Picasso’s final muse, greatest obsession, and second wife, Jacqueline Roque. Rendered with striking cultural reverence, Picasso depicts Jacqueline in traditional Spanish attire, combining powerful graphic lines with a regal, classical poise. This depiction stands as a profound testament to the artist's deep, enduring connection to his Spanish roots and his passionate, lifelong fascination with the psychological and physical presence of his final great love.
Printed on hand-made Auvergne Richard de Bas paper using the meticulous Jacomet method, the work captures the fluid, spontaneous ink lines of Picasso’s original drawing on the heavy, deckled-edge paper. This limited edition release by Au Vent d'Arles is highly coveted for its portraiture significance, offering a tangible connection to the artist's complex psychological landscape and his mastery of the neoclassical style. Picasso's personal supervision of the printing process is evidenced by his color signature, in the stone, on the lower right of the pochoir.
