So...
we can deduce from the portrait that Picasso's girlfriend was obese, slept a lot, and had some sort of problem with her neck vertebrae.
A hole poked in her elbow by some rich dope is the least of her problems.

Picasso had 6 major "loves" and many minor ones -- also a gay relationship with Max Jacob. It is said when Picasso was in love with a current mistress, he would pleasantly paint her -- but a mistress always knew when she lost favor for his paintings of her would become fat and ugly. The arrogant Picasso said, “When I was a child my mother said to me, ‘If you become a soldier, you'll be a general; if you become a monk, you'll end up as the pope.’ Instead I became a painter and wound up as Picasso.”
