Au Lapin Agile, is a 1905 painting by Pablo Picasso. The harlequin is a self-portrait of the artist. The woman represents his lover Germaine Pichot, formerly the obsession of Carlos Casagemas, a friend of Picasso who committed suicide in 1901 because of an unreturned love for Pichot.[1] In 1907 Pichot appeared as one of the models in Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon.[2]
Ownership history
Frédéric Gérard (depicted in the painting playing the guitar) commissioned the painting and exhibited it at the Montmartre cabaret, "Au Lapin Agile", from 1905 to 1912.[3]
On November 27, 1989, Walter H. Annenberg bought the painting at auction from the Joan Whitney Payson family for $40.7 million dollars. He gave the painting to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.[3][2]
