This is Picasso's "Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler".
Mr. Kahnweiler was an art dealer, writer, and publisher who opened a gallery in Paris in 1907. According to the placard, he began showing Picasso's work in 1908. He sat over 30 times for this portrait. And, despite the very cubist/abstract nature of the portrait, Picasso added physical attributes: a lock of hair and the knot of a tie, to identify his subject.
