Pablo PICASSO (1881–1973). - Lot 399
Pablo PICASSO (1881–1973). Handwritten, autograph letter written in black ink on blue paper, with a drawing in the upper right corner depicting a harlequin playing the mandolin. “Eugenia, my dear friend / It seems I’m a wicked ogre and that I’m not even polite (last Sunday) Would you like us to come over for lunch at your place on Saturday? If so, there would be joy and friendship Picasso (In the left margin): A reply (At the bottom): Montrouge (Seine) January 30, 1918 22 R. Victor Hugo” Dimensions: Provenance: Eugenia Errazuriz (1860–1951). 22 Rue Victor Hugo in Montrouge is a historic address where Pablo Picasso lived and worked between 1916 and 1918. He moved into this house, built in 1875, in October 1916, seeking to turn the page after the death of his partner Eva. There he met the Russian ballerina Olga Khokhlova (whom he would paint several times in this studio), before leaving the premises in 1918 to move to Rue de la Boétie. There he also painted the sets and costumes for the ballet *Parade* (inspired by his 1917 trip to Italy—Naples and Pompeii).
