Where we would have expected a simple cube, with no more than three sides visible at a time, Picasso has added a fourth side, painted it black and put it beside the die, as if trying to point to the hidden sides at the back. But not only that, normally the sum of the dots on two opposite sides is seven. Picasso, however, shows the three and the four adjacent to one another.
