The canvas was raffled off as part of a charity lottery - a ticket to participate in it cost 100 euros (about $110). According to some information, the ticket was given to the woman as a gift.
The goal of the lottery was to raise funds for charitable organizations. Thanks to the action, more than 5 million euros ($ 5,4 million) were raised for the French organization CARE, which helps the people of Africa with education and provides them with water.
The money will go towards the construction and restoration of wells, the equipment of villages and schools in Cameroon, Madagascar and Morocco with washbasins and toilets.
More than 50 people from around the world took part in the lottery.
On the subject: Unknown painting by Pablo Picasso found in USA
The painting won by the woman is called “Still Life” - it is a relatively small work measuring 23 by 46 centimeters, painted by Pablo Picasso in 1921.
This is not the first time such a lottery has been played: in 2013, the winner of the “Picasso for 100 euros” promotion was 25-year-old American Jeffrey Gonano - he was also lucky to win a painting by the Spanish artist worth more than $1 million.
“Picasso would have loved this raffle because he was very interested in humanitarian and social causes,” says raffle organizer Perry Cochin.
