Mateu Fernandez de Soto, sculptor, was one of Picasso's first Barcelona friends, whom he met through Jaume Sabartés in 1899 and with whom he frequented Quatre Gats, the modernist tavern opened in 1897. Mateu was nothing like his brother. He was short, puny and poorly dressed, and his demeanor was reserved, while Angel was tall and thin, elegant, playful and lewd, often depicted with a phallic neck.
