Picasso met Jacqueline, who he married in 1961, in Vallauris in the summer of 1953. The many variations of her portrait are an impressive testimony to his love for her. He began working on the lithograph stone for "Jacqueline lisant" on December 17, 1957, and reworked the stone on January 11, as the date at the top suggests, as no prints of this second state are known. Almost a year later, on December 27, 1958, he reworked the stone once again. By coloring the entire background in a deep black, except for a few shadings in the area of the book, there is a strong focus on the reader in this 3rd state. Pablo Picasso thus succeeds in showing how deeply immersed Jacqueline is in her read.
