Picasso's Love for Jacqueline on Display in La Flûte Double, 1967
This captivating portrait of Pablo Picasso's muse and lover, Jacqueline Roque, from the La Flûte Double portfolio (1967) gives the view a unique perspective on the woman that shared her life with the artist for the final two decades of his life. Stylistically this print is a departure from his earlier cubist depictions, opting instead to focus on Jacqueline's high cheekbones, dark eyes, and stunning profile in this expressive portrait.
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 1930s-era drawing on the heavy, deckled-edge paper. This limited edition release by Au Vent d'Arles is highly coveted for its narrative depth, offering a tangible connection to the artist's deep love for his inspiration and romantic partner. Picasso's personal supervision of the printing process is evidenced by his color signature, in the stone, on the lower right of the pochoir.
