SMALL PICASSO ESTATE SALE FIND REAL?

I found this at a estate/garage sale today for only $25; maybe because I was the only one there!(Most people were probably still watching hurricane's direction to see if it would come to Miami!).
It measures 4.5" x 3" & I thought it was so small & simple, and the house it came from was really nice - so maybe Picasso did scribble it out for someone? (hope springs eternal!)
Thanks for any help!
PS - Hurricane is finally starting it's turn north (but pray for the people living in the Bahamas islands - category 5 hurricane with 185+ mph winds that is crawling along at 1 mph! Horrifying)

 

looks like a print.....

 

Print of picasso's line drawing of an owl. Also printed in reverse of correct orientation.

 

that's a $25 lesson...

 

We had one of these hanging on the bit of wall across from the closet by the front door. My mother literally acquired it with Green Stamps; I can still remember she did a lot of dithering over which thing she should get with the completed books she had.

Picasso prints, along with other artist's prints and etchings, were spread far and wide across university campuses, looked much like both of these shown, the frames appear to be 1970s. At the time, they were too expensive for me, they originally cost $25.

EDITED to say, "without the frames" and the sizes were all quite small.

 

here's my observation on it :IMO they are not the same picture in reverse but an attempt at a fake , and/or real (print) idk , , when i was at the picasso exhibit in saskatoon the first thing i noticed in the picasso linocut prints was that his signature was reversed, and in these they are not,
and i also notice in one the lines over the eyes connect to the body the other doesn't , they are not even the same signatures as you can see the subtle differences the dot over the i is over and the i in general thicker more to the right and the P and C's Are not the same ,and the spacing between the letter s and o is farther apart , the land/branch line are different also there is picasso's line under his name in one ,and in one the lines are thick and dark the other thin and light , just off the top of what i see .

 

In your favor, both Etsy and Pinterest show Journey’s variation.

 

i would look at it under a microscope and see what type of print it is, then compare it to printers patterns, dot matrix , laser, ink jet ,

 

or you can send pictures and details to Mr. Picasso

 

did any of them show the back of it ?

 

No they didn’t

but here is a site selling the same print:

yes not exactly the same lol they probably make/made thousands of them (anything for a buck eh lol) ,if it is an official Picasso print it would be stamped/marked as such ...IMO .
