Pablo Picasso (1881-1973)
Lot 134The three following lots (134-136) were each drawn on the back of a card advertising a Barcelona factory of colours, linen oils and other painting products. This detail suggests a precise date for the composition. Works executed on identical cards are dated 1901 by Christian Zervos (cf. C. Zervos, Pablo Picasso, Oeuvres de 1885 à 1906, vol. I, Paris, 1957, no. 47). They were drawn most certainly in early 1901, before Picasso's departure in May for his second stay in Paris, during which he had his successful exhibition at Vollard's gallery.
