During the 1920s, Picasso and his wife Olga Khokhlova were neighbours of Leonce and Paul Rosenberg, who were both art dealers. Rosenberg would become Picasso's most important dealer and had first choice options on his pictures. In 1919, Rosenberg had opened an exhibition of Picasso's watercolours and drawings relating to his stage designs for Diaghilev's production of Le Tricorne. The pochoirs in this series appear to relate to Picasso's set and costume designs for the ballet Parade. It was probably after this exhibition that Paul Rosenberg decided to edit a series of pochoirs showing the costumes and sets for the ballet (written by Jean Cocteau, with music by Erik Satie) that featured Picasso's cubist costumes and an imposing curtain representing a group of saltimbanques.
