Jacqueline Roque was Picasso’s second wife to whom he was married for eleven years before his death in 1973. They met in 1952 at the Madoura Pottery in Vallauris where she worked in the shop and he in the studio. Picasso was seventy-one and Jacqueline just twenty-six. She became his muse and model, and Picasso produced more portraits of her than any other woman, including paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures and ceramics, all distinguished by her enormous almond-shaped eyes.
