- Note: In the summer of 1918, Picasso married Olga Khokhlova, a ballerina with Sergei Diaghilev's troupe, for whom Picasso was designing a ballet. Their first child, Paulo, was born in 1921 and the artist gloried in being a father for the first time. This is part of a series of lithographs made when Paulo was about 2 years of age. The woman depicted does not resemble Olga but the idea of fatherhood and children doubtless provoked the making of this and it’s companion works.
Quite scarce in the market in recent years.
