the iraqi picasso


Boucher Diana

The painting, originating in Iraq, was not painted by Picasso. It is not of museum quality and probably dates from around 1900 . The pose is derived from a painting by Boucher in the Louvre-Diana leaving the Bath. This would be obvious to any first year art-history student.
