Utilizing simple, clean-cut lines, Picasso creates an iconic image of his second wife Jacqueline in Pablo Picasso Profil de Jacqueline (Jacqueline's Profile), 1956. Picasso's geometric portrayal of Jacqueline in profile appears somewhat hieroglyphic in nature; with her decorated, long hair, large eyes, and triangular nose, Jacqueline bears a resemblance to an Egyptian pharaoh
