Exquisite original detailed ink drawing by Pablo Picasso of a holiday feast, accomplished on a 5.5 x 3.5 postcard depicting a wintry forest scene on the front, addressed to conductor Henri Defossé at the Theatre Coliseum in London, and postmarked in Paris in 1919. Picasso's marvelous sketch shows a festive table filled with two wine bottles, four glasses, a plump turkey, two bunches of grapes, bread, bananas, and a pear. Below, he writes a message of New Year's greetings and signs on behalf of his wife and himself, "Olga et Pablo," along with the address of his Parisian studio at "23 R. la Boetie." The studio at 23 rue de La Boétie served as Picasso's home and workshop from 1918 to 1940. In fine condition, with scattered light soiling. Henri Defossé was the conductor of the orchestra performing for the Ballet Russes; in 1919, Picasso’s wife Olga performed with Les Ballets Russes de Serge Diaghilev in a ballet called Le Tricorne, which premiered in London the previous July. Picasso had designed the scenery for that performance, and designed sets for the company in subsequent years as well. Though not executed in his famous Cubist style, this wonderful drawing rejects the classical use of perspective and exhibits the childlike flatness that came to characterize his work from this period.
