This painting, presumably by Picasso was purchased from a dealer in Italy. This piece was on three pieces (2 Picasso, 1 Lucio Fontana) that I purchased, This piece does have the gallery label
It was inherited from an estate and a dealer in Italy handled the sale and marketing for the beneficiary.
Dear Paul,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The presented object appears to be a painting on board or cardboard with measurements of approx 16 x 15 inches. The paintings show a still life with a plant or flowers. The artwork was made in a style and a motif that reminds of the famous artist Pablo PICASSO (1881-1973). It appears to be signed. Neither the style, the quality of the composition nor the handwriting are comparable to authenticated artworks by Pablo PICASSO (1881-1973). It appears that this artwork is a silkscreen print in two colors with an interpretation of a painting by Picasso.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
The named arguments classify this artwork as fake or a copy that has no value in the art market.
With kind regards,
George
