During the years 1927 until 1935, Picasso was besotted by Marie Therese. For him, she had a very arresting face with a Grecian profile and he adored her blonde hair, so she became not only his muse but a great model during this period, Picasso had an amazing creative explosion of work, due to her youthful innocence, undying devotion and great vitality and his work became an expression of his love and worship for her. The painting was created at a picturesque chateau in a small Normandy village which Picasso had purchased in 1930 and there Marie Therese spent the week whilst Picassos wife Olga was only there at the weekends..
