A work of the famous painter Picasso, in which he depicted his young lover, whom he had hidden for many years, will go on sale in May.
Pablo Picasso’s muse and his young lover, Marie Therese, is getting ready to appear at auction for the first time. The painting “Femme nue couchée”, interpreted as a lyrical tribute to the artist’s desires for Marie Therese Walter, is expected to sell for $60 million.
The painting is a portrait of the then-45-year-old artist’s 17-year-old secret love, Marie-Therese Walter. The painting is expected to sell for between 12 and 18 million pounds.
According to the information obtained, Picasso had kept his relationship with the young woman in secret for years because he was married. Picasso and Walter, who were together for a long time, had a daughter named Maya from this love. Secret lover Walter inspired the famous painter in many of his paintings.
