Of old masters we only know
what we are told,
Were they shy, forward, quiet or bold?
For instance, we read about Picasso,
Study his works too in order to know,
Just as he did when only a kid.
Works in the Louvre this was his bid.
Of course each has their own opinion,
Was it his wish to have dominion?
Personally it is my belief it was true,
He was an artist, this we knew,
But there was another side of him,
More than bold lines to a whim.
300 million it was told was his estate,
Unwilled, left to no one, that fate.
To this I'm likely to agree upon to understand,
No only artist but quite a businessman and grand.
