Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The famous 'Hands With Flowers' by Picasso is not exactly a painting but a drawing on paper that was colored in with paint and it is officially called 'Hands With Bouquet!.' As soon as it was dry enough to move it was rushed off to his printer and was re-produced as a limited edition lithograph!. Those limited edition lithographs are pretty expensive these days!. After his death his estate sold reprint rights to it and now just about anybody can sell a copy of the print!.

By the time Picasso created this work (in 1958) he was very old, so old that his hands were no longer steady enough to do paintings on canvas!. So he turned to doing less physically demanding art!. The last few years of his creative output was mainly the famous drawings and lithographs!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
