Published March 31st, 2008
A watercolour by Picasso depicting the artist and one of his first girlfriends, goes on sale at auction next week, along with works by the British painters George Stubbs and Alfred Munnings, on on April 10.
The paintings were discovered stacked up against a wall in the bedroom of a house in the West of England.
Guy Schwinge, of the auction house Duke’s in Dorchester, said: “It was breathtaking to discover these paintings. To find just one of these works would have been incredible - but to find three was quite exceptional.”
Also in the sale is a Andy Warhol, portrait of Mick Jagger.
