Lot Essay

"Her [Marie-Thérèse's] forms were handsomely sculptural, with a fullness of volume and a purity of line that gave her body and her face an extraordinary perfection. Marie-Thérèse brought a great deal to Pablo in the sense that her physical form demanded recognition. She was a magnificent model" (Life with Picasso, New York, 1964, pp. 235-236 and 241-242).
