In October 1956 in Moscow, the first important Picasso exhibition since the revolution opened. The exhibition was held to mark Picasso's 75th birthday and organised by the club 'The Friends of Science and French Culture', and the USSR Academy of Fine Arts. The show presented works from the Soviet museums, alongside other works sent by Picasso, including this drawing for the November 1956 issue of 'France-URSS' magazine.
