Pablo Picasso, "Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler"

1910, oil on canvas
"In 1907 Kahnweiler, a 25-year-old German stockbroker, settled in Paris and opened an art gallery to represent experimental artists like Picasso, Braque, Derain, Leger, and Gris. Picasso, who had already done portraits of three other art dealers, needed around twenty sessions with Kahnweiler posing in order to complete this Cubist likeness."
