]]>Upon discovering the painting, Lo Rosso took it to his Pompeii home, placed it in a cheap frame, and hung it on a wall. His wife supposedly wasn’t thrilled about it, finding it “horrible,” but his son Andrea became quite intrigued by it decades later.
Andrea was reading an encyclopedia of art history when he noticed that the painting on the wall of his family home not only featured “Picasso” signature on the upper left corner but also looked quite similar to Picasso’s famous works. Lo Rosso family then decided to contact the Arcadia Foundation, an art authentication and appraisal institution, to see if their Picasso artwork was real.
Arcadia Foundation carried out an extensive examination, one that took several years, and ended up determining that the painting in the possession of the Lo Rosso family is indeed a genuine Picasso painting. Their conclusion is that it features Picasso’s muse, Dora Maar, and could be worth €6 million ($6.6 million).
However, the process is not entirely complete. The Picasso Foundation in Málaga, Spain, has the ultimate word on authentication of Pablo Picasso pieces and so far has refused to examine Lo Rosso’s artwork.

“Picasso is my all-time favorite artist,” Aqil told Insider. “His work and style have always inspired me.” He said that keeping things “modern yet classic” was a vital part of interpreting Picasso’s work. He also wanted to preserve Picasso’s signature abstract style when illustrating faces.
“[Picasso] used the most unusual shapes with some odd perspective to enrich his desired expressions,” Aqil explained. “He just had an amazing sense of how to decode them.”
