Es verdad que su familia, su padre especialmente, mantuvo una estrecha amistad con don Antonio, y para que no se desmienta el vínculo entre los Ruiz Picasso y Muñoz Degrain, Pablito le dedica una jugosa acuarela que representa a su padre envuelto en una manta y con un gorro de dormir de recuerdos valencianos: El viejo de la manta, de 1895 (Museo de Málaga), como felicitación de Navidad.

When some biographies of 19th-century artists reach Muñoz Degrain, they state, almost if it were his greatest virtue, that he was Picasso's teacher, yet that is not true. It is true, however, that his family – his father in particular – was a close friend of don Antonio's, and as proof of the link between the Ruiz Picassos and Muñoz Degrains there is a Christmas greeting recalling good times spent together in Valencia: a fine watercolour – The Old Man with the Blanket (1895, Museo de Málaga) – dedicated by "Pablito" to Muñoz and depicting his father wrapped in a blanket wearing a night cap.
