A little anecdote about Pablo Picasso:)

A woman commissioned a portrait from Picasso. The artist asked for a substantial sum and worked on it for several months. When she came to collect it, she said, "I’ll pay you whatever you’re asking, but I have one condition — my nose is unattractive, please make it more beautiful."

Picasso studied the painting for a long while, then finally replied, "Madam, that’s impossible."
"What do you mean, impossible? I’ll pay you!"
"It’s not about the money, señora… I simply don’t remember where I painted your nose."

Painting: "Portrait of a Woman. Dora Maar" (1942)
