Note: Picasso painted Still Life with a Bottle of Rum during the summer of 1911 in Céret, the small town in the French Pyrenees that was called the "spiritual home of Cubism" as it was very popular among Cubist painters. The painting was realised during the most abstract phase of Cubism, known as "high" Analytic Cubism (1910–12). This is one of the first works in which Picasso included letter forms. It has been suggested that the ones shown at the left, LETR, refer to Le Torero (the magazine for bullfighting fans), but they might simply be a pun on lettre, French for "word."
Condition: Very good condition. A short tear in the upper sheet edge. Pale, unobtrusive mount staining in the margins far from the image. Remnants of adhesive tape along the extreme sheet edges.
