From Sotheby's:
In the autumn of 1900 a young Picasso made his first trip to Paris. At this point in his life, he was working as an artist and illustrator in Madrid, but like many artists of his generation he was drawn to Paris as the centre of the artistic world. Arriving there in September with his friend Carlos Casagemas, he stayed for three months during which time he visited the Louvre and made the rounds of the commercial galleries including Durand-Ruel, Bernheim-Jeune and Ambroise Vollard. Inspired by the sights and experiences of this new environment, Picasso filled pages of notebooks with sketches of the people he saw around him, revealing an innate ability for capturing detail and character.
