00:00Did you know that a simple Picasso drawing on a napkin can be worth a fortune?
00:04One day while Pablo Picasso was sitting in a cafe in Paris,
00:07While enjoying a drink and people-watching, a woman recognized him.
00:11Excited to meet the famous artist, she approached him and asked him for a favor.
00:14Mr. Picasso, I am a great admirer of your work.
00:17Could you draw me a little picture? I would love to have something of yours.
00:21Picasso, always in good spirits, took a napkin
00:24And with a couple of quick, masterful strokes, he made a small sketch.
00:27Then, with a smile, he handed it to the woman and said, "That'll be 10,000 francs."
00:32The woman was stunned, but it only took her 30 seconds to do it, she protested.
00:37To which Picasso calmly replied, no ma'am, it took me a lifetime.
00:41This story is a perfect example of how Picasso understood the value of his art.
00:46It wasn't just about the time it took him to make a drawing,
00:49but rather the years of practice, dedication, and genius he had invested to reach that level.
00:54Each stroke, each line in that drawing represented a part of his journey as an artist.
00:59A napkin, a simple sketch, but with incalculable value.
01:02And what do you think?
