Jacqueline with Flowers, 1954 celebrates the entry of Picasso's new companion, Jacqueline Roque, into his painting. Antonina Vallentin calls the figure a "modern sphinx", and it is true that in this crouching position, with her long neck and almond-shaped eyes, Jacqueline has something of the mythic figure about her.
She liked this particular position for sitting, and it will be seen again in later portraits, including the "Odalisques" series. When Picasso first met her, he was struck by her resemblance to the woman with the hookah in Delacroix's Women of Algiers. He saw in her the same classical, Mediterranean type of beauty that he had begun to paint in Gasol.
