How can you tell if a Picasso sketch is real?
1 Answer
To tell if a Picasso sketch is real, first compare the signature on your piece to images of authentic works shared by trusted online resources. Looking for any anomalies and learning about the various materials and techniques that the Spanish artist employed during the different phases of his career can also be helpful. If you know approximately when your sketch was likely produced, you can determine whether the materials and techniques are appropriate for that period. Because there are so many Picasso counterfeits on the market, you may wish to have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable art dealer perform a professional authentication.
