Which Picasso Painting at Christie's will Fetch the Highest Bid?


I think this Picasso on the left will fetch the highest bid at Christie's auction tonight.
Femme accroupie au costume turc (Jacqueline)
signed 'Picasso' (upper left); dated '26.11.55.' (on the reverse)
oil on canvas
45 5/8 x 35 1/8 in. (115.8 x 89.2 cm.)
Painted on 26 November 1955



This other Picasso on the right is almost the same size, but maybe because of the pipe... which one do you like best?

Pablo Picasso (1881-1973)
Homme à la pipe
signed 'Picasso' (upper left); dated '7.11.68.' (on the reverse)
oil on canvas
51¼ x 35 in. (130.1 x 89 cm.)
Painted in 7 November 1968
