Not in that portrait, no. It is simply a weeping woman.

This picture however, was painted because Picasso responded to the bombing of the Spanish town, Guernica during the Spanish Civil war by painting the huge mural Guernica, and for months afterwards he made paintings based on one of the figures in the mural: a weeping woman holding her dead child. (

Both the figure in Guernica and in Weeping Woman are based on Dora Maar, Picasso's mistress from 1936 until 1944 and also a photographer and artist herself. Dora Marr was infertile and mentally unstable. The dead baby and the weeping are both meant to show both of these aspects of her.
