The appraised work appears to be a color lithograph print after Spanish artist Pablo Picasso's (1891-1973) 1921 painting 'Three Musicians' currently in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The painting is important for its decorative, Synthetic Cubist style, which Picasso developed alongside Georges Braque in the early 20th century and focused heavily on collage and creating a deliberately flat composition.
