“There was not much for her to cook with in Paris,” Patrick O’Brian wrote. “However, Inès did a great deal with very little; she was thoroughly used to Picasso; she fed him as well as she could, and she kept a neat house where he wanted it to be neat. Theirs was a pleasant southern relationship, tyrannical at times, with loud expostulations on either side, but entirely human, and the place was far less austere with Inès in it.” [Christie’s, New York - Oil on canvas, 55.3 x 38.3 cm]
