Pablo Picasso painting with excellent signature (If I might say so myself)
27 January 2020
Description

Dimensions: 40cm x 50cm Framed Size: 50cm x 60 cm According to the dealer the painting comes from a person's heratige/estate. She hasn't given me more information. The painting is in London. I would gladly send it to your team or other specialist. More information will be found in the pictures I send. I'll try to get more pictures. I just bought it on ebay form Giovanna art store. She is a legitimate dealer to my understanding. Loving regards, Medhane Wendim 🏵️

Presumably not genuine

Dear Medhane,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

The presented object appears to be a painting made in oil or acrylic paint on canvas with the measurements of 40 x 50 inches. The painting depicts the portrait of a woman and appears to be signed by the famous artist Pablo Picasso. This artwork differs fundamentally in the style of the depiction, the composition of the motif, the quality of the oil painting itself and the signature to ensured works of Pablo Picasso.
This piece is in medium condition and there are no serious damages visible.

These arguments classify this artwork as a forgery.

With kind regards,
Georg

Hi Georg,

First of all, thank you for the comments. I respect your thoughts and experiences.

With that being said, I'd love it if you could get a second opinion from someone that you would say knows Picasso in the way you so, or better (if that's possible). I am ready to spend my last valuation (I bought 3) on it. I have a strong sense this painting is an original.

Loving regards,
🏵️

Dear Georg,

I think I've been misunderstood, excuse me for that. I really believe this is a genuine Picasso. Is there any way you could get a second opinion on it? Maybe you know another Picasso expert that could take a look? I really appreciate your expertise, with that being said, there are many experts around be that think it's a genuine Picasso.

Dear Medhane,

Thank you for your email. Sadly this painting is very dubious and there is no other possibility to authenticate it over our website.

With kind regards,
Georg
