This work is a comical depiction of Jaime Sabartes (1881 - 1968). He was born in Barcelona and was a notable poet and friend of Picasso’s who frequented the “Quatre Gabs” bar. Sabartes moved to Guatemala in 1904 to stay with his maternal uncle Francisco Gual Oromí (1872-1931) who was a businessman. On 11 January 1908 Sabartes married Rosa Corzo Robles, who was the daughter of the owners of the house where he was resident. Sabartes moved to New York in 1912 but returned to Guatemala in 1913. Sabartes met Picasso in 1899 and they remained close until Sabartes' death. In 1899 Picasso painted his first portrait of Sabartes, which is now in the Pushkin Museum, Moscow. At Picasso's request, Sabartes moved to rue la Boétie in Paris in November 1935 and became Picasso's full-time secretary, organising his papers, books and poems and was responsible for arranging his exhibitions. Sabartes collected a great many works by Picasso which he donated to the Museu Picasso in Barcelona in 1963 forming the core of this gallery which was initially known as the Sabartes collection. His books and papers were donated to the Museo Picasso Malaga. Sabartes was a somewhat serious figure who became the butt of Picasso's playful, and sometimes spiteful, jokes. The present work is an example of this.The plate was cancelled in 1979 and still exists.References: Barrachina, Jaime et al. Museu Picasso: Catálogo de pintura y dibujo.
