Jacqueline – Pablo Picasso
Jacqueline is a 1964 painting by Pablo Picasso: his wife Jacqueline sits in an armchair in a blue dress with a black cat on her lap. We paint our hand-painted study of Jacqueline to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 8 sizes from 40 × 60 cm to 130 × 195 cm or in a custom size. Before Jacqueline is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.
What does Jacqueline show?
In Jacqueline a woman with long black hair, large almond eyes and a strong profile sits in a green armchair in a pale blue dress, holding a black cat on her lap; everything is painted in fast, free strokes on a light ground, with Picasso’s inscription at the top left. Picasso painted Jacqueline Roque, his last wife, hundreds of times, which is why Jacqueline feels personal, tender and lively.
How is our hand-painted study of Jacqueline made?
Our painters paint the study of Jacqueline by hand, with brushstrokes of different thickness, separately for every order. We paint in oil or acrylic, depending on the subject and the size, so the surface of Jacqueline has a real paint texture that a print does not have. When Jacqueline is finished, we photograph it and send you the photo for approval.
Which size of Jacqueline suits your room?
For the wall above a sofa or a sideboard choose Jacqueline in 70 × 110 cm, and for a bedroom, hallway or work corner 40 × 60 cm. Jacqueline is available in 40 × 60 cm, 60 × 90 cm, 70 × 110 cm, 80 × 120 cm, 90 × 140 cm, 100 × 150 cm, 110 × 170 cm and 130 × 195 cm. The 130 × 195 cm size of Jacqueline is the size of the original. A simple rule for Jacqueline: it should be about two thirds as wide as the furniture below it, with its centre about 150 cm from the floor.
How does Jacqueline arrive, and when?
We ship Jacqueline rolled in a sturdy tube, stretched on 2.5 cm deep wooden stretcher bars, or framed – you choose when you order. Stretching and framing of Jacqueline are done in our workshop in Slovenia. When a size of Jacqueline is in stock, it reaches you within 6 working days; a study of Jacqueline painted to order reaches you in 15 to 45 days.
