Reflecting on the theme of the artist's studio in the late 1920s, Picasso became particularly interested in the depiction of the rapport between the painter and his model, a subject he would explore in different techniques, media, shapes and sizes throughout his career. He often chose the same structure: the artist — his alter ego — facing the model, the two separated by the easel. The elements are limited, the message is straightforward, yet Picasso managed to render each interpretation of the theme in a different way. The artist's curiosity, admiration, pride and self-security are met by the serene posture and easiness of his model.

Picasso reaffirmed his attachment to the external world and the presence of the 'subject' in his works, at a time when many artists were talking of doing away with both. However, the artist's intent is far from being purely philosophical, nor is it meant to serve as a commentary on his craft. 'The more Picasso painted this theme, the more he pushed the artist-model relationship towards its ultimate conclusion: the artist embraces his model, canceling out the barrier of the canvas and transforming the artist-model relationship into a man-woman relationship' (M.-L. Bernadac, 'Picasso 1953-1972: Painting as Model,' Late Picasso, exh. cat., The Tate Gallery, London, 1988, p. 77).
