Boy with a pipe

The Boy with a pipe was painted in 1905 during Pablo Picasso's Rose period in Paris, France. While positioning the boy in various poses, he left the boy sitting down and did not finish this artwork until a month or so later, completing it with a garland of flower on his head. It is said that Picasso knew the boy and the boy watched him work and paint every single day even though the villagers didn't know who the boy was. But other people say that Picasso didn't know who he was but decided to paint him anyways.
