Pablo Picasso with his second wife, Jacqueline Roque, in the 1960s🌹 Picasso was almost 50 years older than Jacqueline, but that didn’t stop him from bringing her a rose every day for six months in his effort to secure her affections. After their marriage in 1961, he proceeded to paint over 400 portraits of her until he died 11 years later. Their mutual enjoyment of each other was said to be immediate and obvious.
