Agreeing with the main point; on a tangential note: > At eleven years old: https://www.pablo-ruiz-picasso.net/work-3939.php https://www.pablo-ruiz-picasso.net/work-3939.php This one is a copy (Bargue plate − a famous set of plates designed to train students efficiently). And to be fair, it's not _that_ great of a copy. The paintings really aren't impressive either: compare them to student works from e.g. the Angel Academy[0] (yes, they are older than 15). Incidentally, they also use Bargue plates a little to train students, and are far, far more demanding with themselves than Picasso in terms of accuracy and cleanliness. Picasso wasn't terrible − he's definitely better than a non-painter − but he's genuinely far from having ever reached the level of his peers. It's like comparing a food truck with historical French cooks. [0]: https://angelacademyofart.com/student-works/ https://angelacademyofart.com/student-works/
