La Lecture
''La Lecture'' (or ''Reading'') is a painting by Spanish artist Pablo Picasso completed in January 1932. The oil painting depicts Picasso's mistress and muse, Marie-Thérèse Walter, asleep with a book upon her lap. The painting led to the breakup of Picasso's marriage to Olga Khokhlova after she saw it at a retrospective exhibition and realised that the facial features were not her own. The painting went to auction in 1989 and in 1996, where it failed to sell. In January 2011, it was announced that ''La Lecture'' would be going to auction on 8 February. The painting, which had not been seen in Europe since the exhibition, was then displayed at Sotheby's in Paris.
==Background==
Picasso met Marie-Thérèse Walter in 1927 as she exited the Paris Metro and they later began a relationship, which they kept secret because she was only seventeen and Picasso was married to Olga Khokhlova.〔 Until he painted ''La Lecture'', Picasso often embedded some of Walter's features in the backgrounds of his other works.〔 When ''La Lecture'' was exhibited at a Picasso retrospective, Khokhlova realised that her husband was in a relationship with another woman after noticing that the facial features in the painting were not hers. She ended her marriage to Picasso shortly afterward.〔 Walter later inspired other Picasso works including ''Le Rêve'', which Picasso painted in the same month as ''La Lecture'', and ''Nude, Green Leaves and Bust''.〔〔 On Walter's influence on Picasso and his work, ''The Art Wolf'' said "Marie-Thérès's potent mix of physical attractiveness and sexual naivety had an intoxicating effect on Picasso, and his rapturous desire for her brought about a number of images that are among the most sought after of his long career."
