First sentence: According to the legend inscribed in The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, "practically every afternoon" during the winter of 1905 Gertrude Stein would walk through the Luxembourg Gardens to the Odeon, take the horse-drawn bus to Montmartre and climb the hill to Picasso's studio to sit for the portrait that now hangs in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
