This rare and autographed example of Picasso's pioneering excursions into Expressionism is estimated at $18,000-24,000.
Meanwhile, if you're an art collector on a lower budget, then the good news is you don't need $24,000 to buy an authentic Picasso collectible. Nor do you have to compete with other bidders online.
