Picasso, par contre, accepte et s’acquitte de la tâche pour son ami au cours de l’hiver 1913-1914, en créant trois gravures qu’il intitule Femme nue (pl. I), Nature morte au crâne (pl. II), Femme (pl. III) » Goeppert-Cramer, Picasso, n°3 ; The Artist & the Book 1860-1960, n° 223: "the second and last of Picasso’s early Cubist illustrations”.
