78-year-old Pablo Picasso and a young woman on the Riviera, 1960His drawings from his seventies often contrast himself as a buffoonish, wizened dwarf opposite a beautiful young woman.
Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers said it best:

Well some people try to pick up girls
And get called assholes
This never happened to Pablo Picasso
He could walk down your street
And girls could not resist his stare and
So Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole
(…)
Well he was only 5’3”
But girls could not resist his stare
Pablo Picasso never got called an asshole
