Does it have a white painted gesso background, or is it just plain fabric? If I remember correctly, Picasso was a &quot;spare no paint&quot; artist, always used plenty of paint! </p><p><br /></p><p>Definitely appears to have been cut from a frame. I&#039;m not sure why it was not photographed FLAT but a bit rumpled, as it appears to be somewhat small from the look of the weave of the canvas. This would have been easy to flatten out for a better photograph. I believe this rumple was done (marketing) to add dramatic appeal to the look of the piece, as though somehow it just couldn&#039;t be transported flat from the heist to the public auction flawlessly... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I would doubt this to be an actual Picasso. Please wait to hear what others may say.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
