ORIGINAL DRAWING SIGNED PICASSO
This is a drawing of two clowns, one on the left and one in the center and a woman's profile on the right. It is signed Picasso in the upper right corner. The drawing measures 19x25" on cream color Ingres paper. The drawing is in black pencil. This is not a print (lithograph, offset, etching, etc.).
I bought this piece as part of a collection.
I have not attempted to authenticate this piece and there are no written certifications so this item is priced accordingly.
Starting bid: US $1,395.00
Time left: 2 days 22 hours

Military discharged 770 under ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’
The figure, however, is significantly lower than the record 1,227 discharges in 2001 -- just before the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.
