Juan Gris. still Life with Guitar, Book and Newspaper. 1919.

From the number of Gris's pictures available on the web, it appears that there are many more studies, which include a newspaper as part of the picture.

Juan Gris. Still life with newspaper. 1916.


"Juan Gris earned his reputation as a “perfect painter” by creating exquisite cubist pictures notable for their stunning precision, exact proportions, and brilliant use of color. Although Gris did not begin to experiment with cubist principles until 1911, he quickly established himself, alongside Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, as one of cubism’s most eminent exponents.

Still Life with Newspaper has an immaculately smooth finish and derives its strength from a sense of austerity and cool restraint rather than excess. The magnificent stillness so characteristic of the seventeenth-century paintings of Francisco de Zurbarán – an artist whom Gris admired – is present in this taut arrangement of crisply contoured geometric shapes."

Albert Anker. Newspaper Boy. 1910.

It is uncler whether this is a boy reading as newspaper; or whether the boy is selling newspapers, and reading one that he has for sale.
