“In recent years in particular we have witnessed the remarkable allure of Picasso’s portraits of Marie-Therese to collectors, with La Lecture selling for £25m – double its pre-sale estimate – in Sotheby’s February 2011 sale, and Nature Morte aux Tulipes selling in Sotheby’s November 2012 sale for $41.5m (£26.5m).
“This particular portrait is a striking and notably modern-looking work from one of the artist’s most celebrated periods.”
The painting sold for £28,601,250.
