A Picasso painting is going up for auction and is expected to fetch a possible record-setting price, and as such there are various articles floating around that talk about the painting. One such article (from Bloomberg) describes the painting with the blurb

Pablo Picasso’s “Young Girl with a Flower Basket," a tender and haunting depiction of a nude with a basket of red blossoms. Painted in 1905 during the artist’s Rose Period, it depicts a waif who was selling flowers around Montmartre at the time.

This couldn't possibly be a literal description of life on the streets of Paris, could it? By 1905 wouldn't any and all public nudity have been eliminated from the streets of the city?
