"Paris, September 1908" is the nineteenth episode of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, and the thirteenth episode in season two. The episode originally aired on ABC on June 19, 1993. For home video, it was paired up with "British East Africa, September 1909" to become Passion for Life.
Plot[]
Indy is at an art auction when a familiar work is being sold - and Indy tells a woman attending the auction about when he saw the work being painted, and who really created it.
Behind the scenes[]
The episode was lightly censored during its original broadcast: a desk corner was digitally moved to obstruct Fernande Olivier's bare behind in the scene where she poses bathing for Picasso. Passion for Life uses the original, unaltered shot.
The timeline in The World of Indiana Jones places the events of the episode in July, 1908.
