What was the name of Picasso's daughter with Marie-Thérèse Walter?
Answer
Maya Widmaier-Picasso
Answer
Maya Widmaier-Picasso
Picasso’s daughter with Marie-Thérèse Walter was Maya Widmaier-Picasso.
Born María de la Concepción Picasso on 5 September 1935, she was Picasso’s second child and his only child with Walter. The nickname “Maya” came from her childhood pronunciation of “María.” She was born while Picasso was still legally married to Olga Khokhlova, a fact that complicated the recording of her parentage.
Maya appeared in several of Picasso’s works, including portraits and pictures of her playing with dolls. Her childhood also coincided with Picasso’s relationship with the photographer Dora Maar, whose presence marked a major transition in his personal life and art. Maya later married Pierre Widmaier and had three children.
The other options are Picasso’s children from different relationships: Claude and Paloma were children of Françoise Gilot, while “Maya Picasso” is a shortened form sometimes encountered but not the stored canonical name. Maya died in 2022.
