Did You Know?

Picasso frequently attended the Cirque Medrano in the Montmartre neighborhood of Paris where he lived at the time.
Print in black ink on cream paper of the outline of two people dancing on the back of a horse. Only the head and front legs of the horse are shaded. The people, only slightly over half the horse's height, line up one behind the other with only the outline of their pointed right toes touching the horse's back. They kick their left legs back, throwing their hands in the air and leaning back.
