Bust of a Seated Woman (Jacqueline Roque)

Bust of a Seated Woman (Jacqueline Roque) refers to a recurring subject in the artistic oeuvre of Pablo Picasso, specifically referring to multiple portraits he created of his second wife, Jacqueline Roque. These works, primarily produced from the 1950s until her death in 1986, often depict Jacqueline in a seated position, with varying degrees of abstraction and stylization characteristic of Picasso's later periods. The portraits vary in medium, encompassing paintings, drawings, sculptures, and prints. They are recognizable for their depiction of Jacqueline's distinctive features, including her almond-shaped eyes, strong nose, and elegant neck. These portraits represent Picasso's deep affection and fascination with Jacqueline, who became a central muse and figure in his life and art. The specific "Bust of a Seated Woman (Jacqueline Roque)" designation can be applied to numerous individual artworks, and therefore requires specific context (date, medium, current location/owner) for accurate identification. Without such detail, the term operates as a general identifier for a category of Picasso's portraits of Jacqueline.
