Famille d'acrobates avec singe (English: Family of acrobats with monkey) is a 1905 painting by Pablo Picasso.
The work was painted at a key phase in Picasso's life, as he made the transition from an impoverished bohemian at the start of 1905 to a successful artist by the end of 1906.
The work was painted at a studio that he took on the top floor of the dilapidated building at 13 rue Ravignan, which the poet Max Jacob termed the "Le Bateau-Lavoir".
[2] The woman holding the child in this painting may have been Picasso's girlfriend, Madeleine, with whom he was living from the end of spring 1904.
To the left is the father, a thin male acrobat wearing a tight pink harlequin outfit with a bicorn hat.
[6] Picasso sold the painting to the Galerie du Vingtième Siècle run by art dealer Clovis Sagot near the gallery of Ambroise Vollard.
The Stein siblings had been living in Paris from 1903, and began collecting contemporary artworks in 1904, buying works by Cézanne, Gauguin and Renoir from Ambroise Vollard.
Sagot sold Picasso's Famille d'acrobates avec singe to Leo Stein in autumn 1905.
