A Plaster Life Mask of Pablo Picasso
Ruputably, a living mask of Picasso, assumed at about a year or two before his death, of about 1970-72. Knowing art interested myself, the French girlfriend of a friend, told me about it and about its possible sale. I don't recall the particulars and can't find the paper of my notes more specific to it. I offer it with whatever that lack can sustain, always believing that unproven story to be true. It was said to have something to do with his wife at the time. If so, that would have been Jacqueline Rogue, it is noted that he had first met her at the Madoura Ceramic Factory where she worked on sculptural ceramics. I have assumed it was probably her that did the life mold and possible cast, the woman it came from had a connection to her. It is in its good and original state, not scared up, lightly soiled, I never tried to clean it. It may be from some earlier date, not sure, going by recalled words and age appearance. No idea how to value it, so, .. about what it had cost quite some time ago. 9.5" in length, 6" width.
