From an old Pennsylvania estate. It is closely related to Picasso's work of 1917 to 1922 see: C. Zervos, Pablo Picasso, Paris, 1951, vol. 4, no. 410 (similar work illustrated, pl. 171); The Picasso Project, ed., Picasso's Paintings, Watercolors, Drawings and Sculpture: Neoclassicism II, 1922-1924, San Francisco, 1996, p. 78, no. 22-228 (similar work illustrated).
The work itself is old, with old labels on the stretcher. Likely a copy or pastiche inspired by Picasso.
