What was the birth date of the wife of the painter of La Lecture?
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.
The Princesse de Broglie The Princesse de Broglie is a late period oil on canvas painting by the French Neoclassical artist Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, completed between 1851-53. It shows Joséphine-Éléonore-Marie-Pauline de Galard de Brassac de Béarn (1825-1860), and was commissioned by Albert de Broglie, de Béarn's husband and heir to the throne of France. Albert had been impressed by Ingres' 1845 portrait of his sister the Comtesse d'Haussonville.
