Fernande Olivier (1881-1966) was Picasso's first girlfriend, model, and muse. He painted many portraits of her and even modeled one of the figures in "Demoiselles d' Avignon" after her.

Eva Guel (real name Marcelle Humbert, 1885-1915) was a French choreographer Picasso met while in a relationship with Fernande Olivier. She became his muse and lover, but died of tuberculosis at a very young age. While taking care of her during her illness, Picasso managed to have an affair with Gaby Lespinasse.

Olga Khokhlova (1891-1955) was a Russian ballet dancer and Pablo Picasso's first wife. Together they had a son, Paulo. Even though Picasso entered an affair with Marie-Therese Walter while they were married, she did not divorce him and remained separated until her death.

In 1927, while Picasso was still living with Olga Khoklova and their son, he met a 17-year-old named Marie-Therese Walter (1909-1977). Marie-Therese became the mother of his first daughter, Maya. She was in a relationship with Picasso until he met Dora Maar in 1936.
