Dear art fans and autograph collectors,

I would like to ask you if you think that this drawing in lead pencil on a white piece of paper with dimensions of 6 * 8,2 inches/15,2 * 20cm bears a "real Picasso".

It is said to have belonged to an art collector. The famous Peace Dove motive is a very common one for him.

The dedication in my opinion says "Pour Raphaella" (French for "To Raphaella), followed by the Spanish words "Gracias muchos Mas Gracias de su Picasso" (if I got this right, it means Thank you so much, yours Picasso).

On the internet, I found quite a similar dedication ("Gracias...") on a real Picasso note (see 2nd attachment).

What do you think about this spectacular signed drawing? No date is given...

Thank you very much in advance. I highly appreciate any comment you may have.

Kind regards
Markus

PS:The drawing is just pencil streaks on white paper - for better evaluation possibilities, I increased the contrast making it a little blurry, but it isn't...

Here you can see a handwriting sample of Picasso with almost an identical Thank you (Gracias...):
