Les Noces de Pierrette (The Marriage of Pierrette) was painted in 1905, a time when Picasso faced poverty early in his career. In 1989, it was sold for US$50 Million, or roughly US$ 85 Million today.

Who knows? Maybe those old doodles you kept in your attic would also be worth millions, too , someday.
