PABLO RUIZ PICASSO (1881-1973).Mix media on cardboard measures 12-1/2 x 20 Inches framed and 11 x 18-1/2. Although initially it appeared this former Yugoslavia purchase was going to waste it is still in good condition.The art was exposed to dust and open air but withstood the test of time heroically.The bottom left corner was breaking off and support was created to prevent this from happening(please check pictures). The surface was cleaned meticulously. Layers of dust and loose paint chips were removed.On advice of a professional we decided to have the surface sealed .This prevented any further peeling and chipping of paint. It not only preserved the work for a long future but enriched and restored it's a bit of dull look into it's formal glory.Art fantastically sits in the frame which was reinforced with corner brackets.The painting is securely placed under plexiglass and ready for display.Final shot shows verso before backing has been sealed off. Sold as Picasso-after.*International buyers may not be able to receive the frame.

Fair condition with some reinforcement of the work and frame. Further paint chipping has been prevented.Yellowing and time wear present.Edges of the painting have layers of dust and dirt that could have not been removed without more damage.
