Technical Analysis – is the media even one that Picasso used (he seldom did conte drawings)? Is the watermark of the paper from the period? Is the paper old or modern with “brighteners” in it? Does the work show oxidation from being exposed to air and sun over time or is it “fresh” and new looking? Is there dust imbedded in the surface?

Picasso was one of 250 sculptors who exhibited in the 3rd Sculpture International held at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in the summer of 1949. In the 1950s, Picasso’s style changed once again, as he took to producing reinterpretations of the art of the great masters. He made a series of works based on Velazquez’s painting of Las Meninas. He ... based paintings on works by Goya, Poussin, Manet, Courbet and Delacroix.

Before, and shortly after, moving to Paris, Picasso's painting was in its "Blue Period" (1900-1904), which eventually gave way to his "Rose Period" (1905-1906). It wasn't until 1907, though, that Picasso really raised a commotion in the art world. His painting Les Demoiselles d'Avignon marked the beginning of Cubism.
