Clearly, you can see the influence of Picasso's late 1960's painting here.
This has EVERYTHING that marks a great Lorjou:
COLOR - bright rich colors, YELLOWS, PINKS, VIOLETS.
COMPOSITION - great composition
SIZE - Great large size
CONDITION - Most importantly it is in very good condition. 95% of Lorjou's have peeling, flaking paint etc. This one has only 1 small area of paint flaking, not noticeable, and easily fixed.
