Pablo Picasso's Drop Curtain for "The Blue Train" (1924)
Artist Alexandre Shervashidze copied Picasso's original painting onto a 32 foot high x 36 foot wide drop curtain for the ballet "The Blue Train" performed in Paris in 1924. Picasso was so pleased with Shervashidze's reproduction that he dedicated it to Diaghilev and signed it, the largest painting Picasso ever signed. "The Blue Train" was choreographed by Bronislava Nijinska, sister of Vaslav Nijinsky and a great dancer in her own right.

Pablo Picasso's largest-ever painting, a 10.4 metre-by-11.7 metre cloth used in a performance of the Ballets Russes in 1924, went on exhibition for the first time in London on Thursday.
The canvas, designed and signed by Picasso but finished by seven other artists, was used in a performance of the one-act ballet "Le train bleu" (The Blue Train) by Bronislava Nijinska.
The piece, which is to be a star exhibition in a show at the Victoria and Albert Museum dedicated to the Russian ballet company, was bought by the museum in 1968 but never previously exhibited.
More than 300 items will go on show in the exhibition: "Diaghilev and the Golden Age of the Ballets Russes 1909-1929", opening September 25.
