At the age of 75, Picasso was inspired by his new home in Cannes, by the light, his studio, and his young lover and future wife Jacqueline Roque, who was a constant source for the figure in his late painting. Nude in a rocking chair (1956) features his compulsive, aggressive fragmentation of the human form, contrasted with colourful background elements reminiscent of the late interiors of his long-time rival Henri Matisse.

Acquired by the Art Gallery of New South Wales in 1981, Nude in a rocking chair is available as an A3 size print, exclusive to the Gallery Shop.
