The photos depict Chavez leaning on a bed, a blue pillow behind his head. He smiles broadly, while his daughters Rosa and Maria lean in close to him.

 

　　The photos were shown on Venezuelan state television by Chavez's son-in-law, Science and Technology Minister Jorge Arreaza.

 

　　It has been the first glimpse of Chavez since he underwent a fourth cancer-related surgery in Cuba over two months ago.

 

　　Arreaza said Chavez is still healthy seen from the photos.

 

　　"We see how the president continues to carry out presidential functions, he heads the government, he is making the decisions. These are images from yesterday, but we've worked with him in recent weeks, several work sessions."

 

　　Chavez, aged 58, has been undergoing cancer treatment in Cuba on-and-off since June 2011.
