"Deux femmes courant sur la plage (La course)" (1922) by Picasso
While visiting a beach in the south of France one day, Pablo Picasso was approached by a small boy brandishing a blank sheet of paper. The youngster had clearly been enlisted by his parents to solicit an autographed drawing...
Picasso graciously obliged but, tearing up the paper, drew a design on the child's back instead, signing his name with a jubilant flourish before returning him to his parents.
"I wonder," the artist later remarked, "whether they'll ever wash him again!?"
