The presence of the dove is particularly significant, as it represents peace and purity. It also had a personal significance for Picasso, who watched his father José Ruiz y Blasco paint doves when Picasso was a boy. The painting was described by Arts Council England as "probably the most famous work by Picasso in a UK collection".

b. 1841 - d. 1913. José Ruiz y Blasco (1838–1913) was a Spanish painter, an art teacher, and the father of artist Pablo Picasso (1881–1973). He was born in Málaga, Spain where he became a teacher of drawing at the Escuela Provincial de Bellas Artes. He specialized in images of doves and pigeons.
The truth is that the figure of the pigeon has been present in Picasso's works since his beginnings, influenced by his father José Ruiz Blasco, who was a pigeon fancier and a realist painter, known for his pigeon compositions, studied in the open air (Jiménez Fernández, 2023).
