Description:
Painted in Paris, May 1907, considered a Proto-Cubist work. Picasso worked on Les Demoiselles over the course of some months, and repainted part of it later in the summer. He produced hundreds of sketches and studies in preparation for the final work. In this work, he also tests and labels paint colors. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Main_Page)
