Les vendangueurs 1959. Linocut sobre arcos de papel tejido 37x31, con marco 58x51. Edición de 50 ejemplares. Firmado a mano sin numerar. Perfecto estado.
Hello Jesus,
Thank you very much for submitting this item for an online appraisal and for your patience.
The presented object appears to be a linocut print on paper measuring 58 x 51 cm. The piece is signed "Picasso" at the lower right and is visibly similar to "Les Vendangeurs," created by Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881-1973) in 1959.
It is my understanding that this print was produced in a series of 50 with an additional 20 artist proofs. All of the other examples of this work that I've found have been numbered out of 50 on the left side of the print:

...or have the inscription: "Epreuve d'artiste"

Given that the presented item does not have a number or the inscription "Epreuve d'artiste" on the left side, I believe that a more appropriate attribution would be "After Pablo Picasso" and that the current fair market value of the piece would be $350 to 450 USD, though retail and asking prices may vary.
If you have questions or concerns, I would recommend that you get in touch with our authentication team, who might be able to provide some additional information about this piece. You can email them at [email protected].
Thank you again and I wish you all the best!
Kind regards,
