Plot[]

Opening bookend[]

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.

Paris, September 1908d[]

Indy meets the young Norman Rockwell and Pablo Picasso while exploring the artistic subcultures of Paris.

Closing bookend[]

Mr. Yamaguchi pays $4-million for the Degas painting. Sitting behind him, the elderly Jones compliments the man on his "good buy" to which Yamaguchi replies that he hoped to become rich enough to afford a Picasso. Jones sits back and shared a look with the woman that he just finished telling the story of how the painting was in fact Picasso's work

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 despite the title clearly indicating the episode taking place in the year's September.
