Girl on a Ball

Girl on a Ball or Young Acrobat on a Ball[1] is a 1905 oil on canvas painting by Pablo Picasso, produced during his 'Pink Period'[2]. Ivan Morozov acquired it in Paris in 1913 but after the October Revolution it was seized for the Soviet state, ending up in the State Museum of New Western Painting and then from 1948 the Pushkin Museum, where it still hangs[3].

The painting was the inspiration for a short program performance by Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva at the in both the 2018–2019 season and 2019–2020 season, the latter of which she won the 2020 World Junior Figure Skating Championships.[4]
