I don't see anything particularly meritorious in this painting

Simply that is a Picasso that you can actually look at... unlike those ridiculous "Cubism" monstrosities.

Yep. Personally I think it's beautiful. But I got outbid, dang it.

FWIW, a lot of Picasso's representative stuff has a presence to it that doesn't translate well to scanning and reproduction. See one of his in a gallery among other paintings and it just seems to jump off the wall at you. The difference (to me) between Picasso and lesser talents that throw paint at a canvas and call it art, is that Picasso really could draw a lamp when he wanted to.
