N.B. The "bearded man" figures into Picasso's oeuvre as early as the 1920s, with scenes exploring the artist-muse relationship. It recurs in Picasso's depictions of Greek mythological figures, and has been speculated at times by some scholars to be a representation of the artist himself.
Estimate $18,000-22,000
Although the work has not been removed from its frame, there are some very light handling creases.
