Not sure what type of print but doesn’t look like modern offset one.
Can’t find many prints of this particular work online.

 

According to this article there was an early lithograph done of this piece: https://russelltetherfineart.wordpress.com/2014/10/

But I can't find any follow up on the article (it was supposed to be the first in the series).

 

Thanks.
I saw the article earlier but did not read it thoroughly. I wonder if the artwork discussesd there is the same piece that was offered by Sotheby’s.

 

I don't know what is what, but here's a comparison.

 

Hm, they all have differences in the colors and the lines. Even signatures are slightly different.
The last two are supposed to be charcoal and crayons but mine is different medium.

 

Yeah, I don't know.

Your close-up pics are good, why not submit it to Sotheby's for review?

(I think you should re-take the main pic, photog is casting some serious shadows)

 

The one on artnet is the same as Sotheby’s. I see their estimated value but not finding price realized.
I’ll take mine out of the frame first and then we’ll see. I doubt it’s something valuable so probably won’t bother with big auction houses.

 

I wonder if it got pulled? There are other Picasso sales in 2018 with scads of newspaper articles about them.

Nothing on this piece. (that I can find)

 

A lot of uncertainties about this artwork.
According to the artical, they found an image of a reproduction( lithographic copy?) in the Christian Zervos catalog. What’s that supposed to mean? Wonder if it says in the catalogue that the provided image is a repro? Then, according to Sotheby’s, their piece was in possession of Yvonne Zevros, Christian’s wife( before 1961 but does not say when and where acquired), and they also mention the illustration in the catalog but nothing about being a reproduction.
According to the Picasso Administration, this work was executed in 1914 and signed by the artist at a later date, likely circa 1939. He also dated it “14” at such later date? I would think he was asked by someone to sign it?

 

I don’t know what kind of paper is mine. The surface is glossy like there is varnish or so. I can clean it with water.

 

I think this is above my pay grade.

I have no idea what we're looking at.

 

You can contact Claude Picasso by post mail only and get authentication of what this piece is. He used to do it for free, not sure if he still does. http://www.picasso-authentification.fr/?lang=en
