Picasso’s painting titled Le Moulin de la Galette depicts a lively scene with men and women dressed in glamorous clothing.
The dimly lit place seems to be a gathering place as ladies can be seen dancing the night away with top hatted gentlemen.
Picasso was only 19 years old when he painted the stunning piece after visiting a ballroom which he later depicted in a work of art.
Le Moulin de la Galette is now on display at the prestigious Guggenheim Museum in New York, but restoration experts noticed something hidden among the smiling faces.

A cheeky extra character is a small King Charles spaniel that Picasso originally painted in the piece – but later painted over in black.
Experts say it can still be found if you look carefully.
The party scene’s vibrant colors and sparkling background lights can distract the eye, but if you focus, you’ll be able to spot the hidden dog.
Before the painting was sent to the exhibition, Guggenheim worked with experts from the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC where they were able to identify the mutt.
They restored the artwork by removing dirt and varnish, which revealed secret subtleties that had long gone unnoticed.
Using X-ray fluorescence, a technique that pinpoints the chemical elements in a color, the research teams were able to locate the wily puppy lurking in the image.
And now we challenge you to spot it in less than ten seconds – you might have the eyes of a predator if you find it.
