More about Les Demoiselles d’Avignon

The title of the painting refers to a street in Barcelona, Carrer d’Avinyó, which was known for its many brothels. The five figures, “The Women of Avignon”, depict prostitutes of this red-light district in Barcelona boldly staring back at the viewer from the painting.
Carrer d'Avinyó is an old yet stylish street known worldwide for its brothel at number 44 being the possible inspiration for Picasso’s painting 'Les Demoiselles d’Avignon'. The mainly narrow medieval street offers elegant culture with an artistic twist in the Gothic neighbourhood.
