Did You Know?

During Picasso’s Rose Period (1904–6), the artist frequently depicted a family of circus performers engaged in the rituals of everyday life.
A vertically oriented print with a loosely outlined full-body depicts two people standing and looking to our right. The one on our left is holding a baby. The baby wears a nightgown and looks at us, arms around the neck of the person holding them, who wears a triangular hat over cropped hair. On our right, a nude woman stands, waist-length hair tumbling over her right shoulder as she scrunches it in her hands and smiles.
