Another fake. Mysterious MA.
He didn't paint it. It isn't from his workshop either.
Think about it. All these people have are assertions.
Look at this monstrosity. Look at the face. Look at the background.
Forgive me for being blunt but FFS./ rant

Canyon Road in Santa Fe was loaded with great art galleries at one time. Was there maybe 10 years ago. A gallery that was pushing art by a young girl who was doing bland copies of Picasso's style. They were using a hard sell.
Much of what was there is gone. I recall being wary of my wallet because I would see things I wanted. There are two good ones left from what I recall.
I now go to Tubac, Az. when I want to look at art. It is near Tucson and is good for lunch and a look around. -
Interesting. I remember that girl and I'm sure I could Google her. Whoever put her up to it and profited from it is a con artist. I say con artist but it was no doubt many people operating together. I can't tell you how many 3rd rate artists made fortunes in Hawaii selling on Front St. In Lahaina until the art market cooled and the town burned to the ground a few years later.
