PICASSO PABLO: (1881-1973) Spanish Painter. An exceptional illustrated A.L.S., Olga et Picasso (also signing on behalf of his first wife), to one side of a picture postcard depicting a Christmas winter scene to the recto, Paris, 2nd January 1919, to Mr & Mrs [Henri] Defossé, at the Coliseum Theatre in London, in French. At the head of the letter Picasso has executed a wonderful, charming original pen and ink drawing of a Christmas dinner, apparently for four people with a turkey, two bottles of wine accompanied by four glasses and several bunches of grapes and other fruits laid out on a table. A decorative, dark flowing line adorns the upper part of the exquisite drawing with the year 1919 at the head. Beneath his drawing Picasso writes a brief message to his friends, presenting them with the Christmas dinner, 'Dear friends, here you have, with this well-served table, our best wishes', also adding the address of his Parisian home and workshop at Rue la Boetie in his hand beneath his signature. Such detailed original ink drawings by Picasso, particularly from this earlier stage of his career, rarely appear at auction and the present example is enhanced by an interesting association. Some very minor, light age wear, otherwise VG Henri Defossé (1883-1956) French Conductor, Pianist & Composer. Sergei Diaghilev's favourite conductor, Defossé was chosen to lead the Ballets Russe at London's Coliseum Theatre in 1918 & 1919.
